Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration

Advanced LAnGuage INformation Forum (ALAGIN): A forum aiming to contribute to the development of universal communication by means including the progressive development and promotion of technologies which will deliver information processing and communication above and beyond language barriers.

Ultra-Realistic Communications Forum (URCF): The purpose of this forum is to bring together a wide range of universities, research institutes, and industries involved in the research, development, and commercialization of ultra-realistic communications, to facilitate the exchange of information on trends in cutting-edge technologies of different fields, and to efficiently promote vision creation, research and development, demonstration experiments, and standardization through industry-academia-government collaboration.

Research Promotion Council of Keihanna Info-Communication Open Laboratory: Aiming for the development of new technologies, developing human resources and creating new industries by promoting collaborative research and development between industry-academia-government, as well as utilizing the NICT Research Promotion of the Council Keihanna Info-Communication Open Laboratory, with the Kansai being instrumental in helping establish the country as a world leader in the field of ICT, and in turn aiming to contribute to the revitalization of the Kansai economy.

Hon'yaku (Translation) Bank: "Hon'yaku (Translation) Bank" is a nationwide project launched to develop high precision automatic translation.

fVisiOn: fVisiOn is a table-based, glasses-free, three-dimensional (3D) display that can be seen by multiple people around the display. The goal is to create an interface that projects 3D images at height suspended above a flat, empty table, that will be naturally visible without the use of 3D glasses by multiple people, especially for situations in which people seated around the table would view the image by looking down at it from all angles.

Multiscopic glasses-free 3D Display (REI): With REI, 3D images can be viewed without special glasses, and not only does it project stereoscopic images, but also projects images whose appearance will change as the viewing angle changes. This technology enables images to be viewed in almost exactly the same way as if the object being viewed were actually physically present.
