Toyota Group x Yamaha Motor Jointly Developed GPS-Linked Audio Guide Creation Tool Provided at NAKED Kyoto Co-Hosted Event

Toyota Coniq Pro Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Junichiro Takeda; hereinafter “Toyota Coniq Pro”) provided the no-code audio guide creation tool “TOYOTA CONIQ GUIDE (tentative name)” at the night events “SOUDA KYOTO, IKOU. Presents NAKED meets World Heritage Daigoji – Daigo Hanami –” and “Yamashina Ward 50th Anniversary NAKED Yoru Sanpo – Kyoto, Yamashina –” jointly held by NAKED Inc. and Kyoto City. TOYOTA CONIQ GUIDE (tentative name) is a no-code audio guide creation tool that Toyota Coniq Pro and Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. are jointly developing, utilizing Yamaha Motor's location-based service for mobility, “Mobilit.E.S.” This tool allows anyone to easily create GPS-linked audio guides that sync with smartphone location information. Operators can easily create audio guide apps from a management screen, enabling low-cost operation. Furthermore, visitors can listen to audio guides on their smartphones as they walk around the venue, allowing them to more deeply appreciate the worldview, background stories, and highlights of the artworks on the spot. [About the Demonstration Results] Evaluations of the audio guide from event participants showed a satisfaction level of 70.0% (TOP2) and an enrichment of experience at 83.3% (TOP2), confirming the positive effects on the event experience. It is suggested that supplementing understanding of the background, direction, and highlights of artworks and performances with audio guides increased visitors' satisfaction with their roaming experience and allowed them to immerse themselves more deeply in the event experience. [Audio Guide Questionnaire Results (n=30)] Based on feedback such as “visualization of app users' roaming data” obtained through the demonstration, we will continue to strive for further quality improvements to make the service even better for both event participants and event operators. “TOYOTA CONIQ GUIDE (tentative name)” provided at this event is a no-code audio guide creation tool that allows anyone to easily create GPS-linked audio guides. It is equipped with a dashboard function (management screen function) that allows operators to easily create and update guide content without coding, and can be utilized for speedy and low-cost creation of tourism content without requiring requests to app development companies. Furthermore, by linking audio guides with smartphone location information, it is possible to provide users with even greater value in their travel experience. Moving forward, we are also considering functional updates aimed at improving convenience for personal mobility and automobiles, and we aim to create a tool that can meet the needs of operators in various situations, such as creating tourism experiences and promoting circulation in local and urban areas, guiding tours within facilities, and supporting test drives with vehicle explanations. As a member of the Toyota Group, Toyota Coniq Pro will continue to take on challenges for a sustainable future expanding from the mobility domain, for “the happiness of each individual.” [Overview of NAKED Night Event Audio Guide Utilization Demonstration] *Events have concluded.
