This provision of an attendance method was realized through a partnership between Toraru Inc. and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, which aims to attract visitors from overseas. It will be offered to all domestic and international visitors who wish to attend but find offline/real participation difficult due to reasons such as wanting to use their time efficiently, having limited financial resources, conflicting schedules, being on childcare leave, or on temporary leave. Please experience an immersive experience that is as good as actually participating offline and in person.

■ What is the avatar service "GENCHI"?
Have you ever wanted to go somewhere but gave up?
If you could teleport, where would you go?
If you could exist in two places at once, what would you do there?
GENCHI, the avatar service, is a futuristic transportation platform service that offers new mobility options and possibilities, enabling online simulated teleportation and goal achievement.
One major advantage of using GENCHI for movement is that anyone can easily achieve their goals through simulated teleportation via a browser, even if they don't know anyone at the destination. For example, from home or office, you can go shopping (immersive commerce), interact, participate in exhibitions and events, conduct sales, provide support, perform repairs, and achieve other objectives at the local site. The mechanism involves a request made through the web platform, where registered local workers are arranged as your avatar (clone). Through smartphones, visual, auditory, and partial tactile sensations are simulated, and their hands and feet are borrowed to achieve your goals.
Matching with registered workers around the local area on the platform. They assist the client in achieving their goals as the client's avatar (clone). (The client is displayed on the smartphone or tablet screen).
Simulated teleportation from the SusHi Tech Tokyo venue to Sendai or Osaka!
At the exhibition booth, we plan to conduct a demonstration where visitors can experience simulated teleportation from the SusHi Tech Tokyo venue to Osaka or Sendai, approximately 500 km away, using the avatar service "GENCHI".
Visitors to the booth will be able to instruct and request local workers arranged in various locations using joysticks and microphones (voice function) provided at the booth. For example, your face can appear on the worker's smartphone, simulating real-time presence.
