I went to Hotel Gajoen Tokyo in Meguro. Before,Although the size is OK, Ferrari's parking was refusedSo, every time we visit Ferrari for the first time, we can park our car or we are a little excited ... Zero dignity (laughs).
On this day as well, I went to Gajoen, thinking that it would be okay because it was a hotel. How many years have you been here? ?? It's been the first time that I haven't changed. I don't remember at all anymore ...
Now, follow the instructions like "Click here for the underground parking lot" and go to the underground parking lot. It seems to be quite large, so if you proceed with peace of mind, there are many flat parking lots. This is fine! Like this.
So, I found out that California T can come normally and Hotel Gajoen Tokyo can be parked. I am relieved. I hope it will be helpful to anyone in the future (laughs).
I was able to park my car safely, so I entered the hotel. It was like this. No, I've been there a long time ago, but I don't remember at all!
A lot of women are having tea with each other, and I thought it might be a wonderful spot for women to have tea with each other. And since it's daytime, there are almost no men ... Is it a land pattern called Meguro? Is it because it's Gajoen? The cafes and restaurants in the hotel during the day were mostly women only.
I'm one of those "women", but I'm more interested in it than having a cup of tea at a hotel and chatting. Even in the same hotel, it feels like I'm going into the exact opposite "place where only men are" (laughs).
so. We went to "Business VR / AR Conference 2018" sponsored by Nikkei BP Research Institute Innovation ICT Lab. Due to the time it took to pick up my child, I attended only the first 2.5 seminars, but it was quite interesting.
* In my work, I have no hesitation in attending or attending seminars on cutting-edge technology, or on the contrary, I like it.
Even if I knew VR / AR / MR (and SR) somehow, it was a world I didn't know at all, so I was able to get a glimpse of what these fields are like now. I feel like it.
What was interesting was the presentation by Toyota Motor Corporation's chief engineering IT department, "Innovation of production sites utilizing mixed reality that Toyota is working on."
It is said that Mixed Reality (Mixed Reality / MR) is used for judgments and decisions to reduce the burden of difficult assembly work within Toyota, which is said to be not well known outside of Toyota.It's a past article, but it looks like this..
Even within Toyota, MR has already begun to penetrate so much! I was surprised. Moreover, the factory people who use MR are unfamiliar with even mouse and keyboard operations.
People who are not good at operating such PCs and tablets can use the virtual world without much resistance, because it is not "VR" but "MR", which is a point that is easy to get started. It seems.
I will summarize it easily with my poor knowledge. If you are an expert and say something different, please point it out.
VR: Virtual Reality
A closed, immersive 3D world. ◆ When you attach a VR machine (head mount), you can only see the images in that VR, right? Virtual reality on that.The game system used in the movie "Ready Player One"Is exactly VR.
AR: Augmented Reality
The real world with digital information inserted. ◆ The big difference from VR is that "reality" is the main thing. An easy-to-understand example is Pokemon GO. AR is an augmented reality that puts virtual reality into the subject of reality, representing a virtual Pokemon in the "real world" projected on the smartphone screen.
MR: Mixed Reality
The world of hybrids. ◆ Similar to AR, MR is mainly based on the real world, but you can actually operate the virtual CG projected on it or go around and see it. In other words, in Pokemon GO, only the Pokemon is projected in the real world, you could not actually touch the Pokemon, go around to the back side of the Pokemon, lift the tail and check under it. right? Can you somehow understand that this is possible with MR?
SR: Substitutional Reality
I haven't learned much yet, so I'll skip it (laughs).
BMI: Brain Machine Interface
By the way, one of the people who made a presentation on this day said that this BMI technology might be the next step after VR, AR, MR, SR, etc. It is a so-called technology that does something by embedding a chip in the brain. scared….
That's why the MR adopted by TOYOTA allows you to remotely see, touch, and work on the virtual engine and car parts in front of you, even though it is in the actual field (real) world. Since it is possible to share the work contents with other employees, it seems that the work is done in virtual reality, which is very easy for the workers to enter.
No, the amazing world is just around the corner. And this Toyota person, presentation material in cute font that seems unlikely to be used from the outside (laugh). People don't look like it.
After that, when it was introduced in another person's presentation that "There are many companies that have already introduced VR etc.", the site photos that seem to belong to those companies are Baba ... I did not overlook the fact that it was probably the body of McLaren that was opened on one of the computer screens. .. What is it?
By the way, when I learned a little about VR and became curious, I will be picking up my child so I will go home. Therefore, I have to pay the parking fee, but it seems that it will cost about 1,400 to 1,750 yen from the time I stopped. Then my husband said, "If you buy more than 3,000 yen, it will be free for 3 hours, so if you just pay for the parking lot, isn't it better to buy something 3,000 yen?" ,Shopping.
However, I didn't have what I wanted (laughs), and when I asked for practicality, there was a refrigerated shumai, so I had two boxes of shumai with my child's side dish. Even so, I didn't go for 3,000 yen, so I added only two cakes to my husband and my snack (← I don't buy it for my kids ... just for the parking fee (laughs)). It's almost 4,000 yen (tears).
… And what I saw at the time of checkout! !! this! !! ↓ What. It was "free parking for 3 hours for 2,000 yen or more"! !! !! Wow, I bought a cake in vain ~ (tears). Two boxes of shumai were enough!
Here ↓ are the cakes I received after returning. It was delicious, but ... even if I didn't buy this, the parking lot was free ... (laughs). So, if you're going to Hotel Gajoen Tokyo, don't forget that it's free for 3 hours if you spend more than 2,000 yen! !! Even so, the cake was very delicious ... It was delicious and I was happy, so it's okay.
(I'm a little disappointed that I paid a little wastefully (laughs)) The parking lot was safe and free of charge. The temperature was over 30 degrees Celsius and it was a sunny day, so if I thought I wouldn't open the car anymore and would return in a cool and comfortable way ... "I'll open it!" The word is. I tried to say "Yes, yes, no!", But "Let's open it!", Opened. It's hot! !! !! … But the high speed was pretty good. The general road is tough in midsummer.
However, my husband always opens as much as possible when he gets in a car that can be opened, so I would like to give up quite a bit and enjoy the open car together. Let's keep my car from opening its roof ... (laughs).
