Installing transparent displays with multi-language display functions at 38 Tokyo metropolitan government facilities!

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is taking significant steps towards inclusivity by installing transparent displays with multi-language functions at 38 facilities across the city. This initiative, which aligns with the upcoming World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25 and the Tokyo 2025 Deaflympics, aims to ensure that everyone can communicate seamlessly, regardless of language or disability. The state-of-the-art displays will provide real-time translations in 32 languages, including English, Chinese, and Spanish, thus breaking down language barriers for residents and visitors alike. Furthermore, the displays will be equipped with tablets to assist individuals with hearing impairments in communicating effectively. Scheduled for installation on June 14, 2024, these displays will enhance the user experience at various government facilities, including the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building General Information Desk.

This project is part of the "Future Tokyo" strategy, focusing on creating a smart and accessible urban environment. The initiative not only promotes inclusivity but also demonstrates Tokyo's commitment to leveraging technology for better public service. As the city prepares for major international events, these advancements will play a crucial role in enhancing the overall experience for all participants.
