Sun Project's Zombie Experience VR

Virtual reality (VR) is beginning to expand beyond games to events and educational applications. The price of head-mounted displays (HMDs) has dropped and their usability has improved, and commercial production and human resource training are being commercialized. It is not necessary to create full CG content, and know-how has been accumulated to bring out the best results while reducing production costs. "The cost of building VR has come down due to investment in the game industry. The cost of building VR has come down due to investment in the game industry, and VR is beginning to enter areas that were previously unprofitable, such as corporate human resource development," explains Shoichi Hasegawa, an associate professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Having studied VR for a long time, he said, "VR has matured as research. However, social implementation is still in its infancy. (= April 5, 2019, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)

Aichi Sangyo (Shinagawa, Tokyo) and Shibaura Institute of Technology have started a joint research project to manufacture mass-produced products using metal 3D printers. Overseas, mass production using metal 3D printers has already started, but in Japan, it is still in its infancy. In Japan, 3D printers are mostly used for prototyping and development, but not for mass production, because of the risk of internal problems during molding and the low accuracy of surface finish. Measurement and evaluation methods for processed materials have not been established in Japan. Therefore, through joint research, they will try to solve these problems.

      Nippon Shimpo's drill used in the previous deep drilling of the Antarctic ice sheet

      Nippon Shinkan (Niiza City, Saitama Prefecture) has delivered high-precision aluminum tubes to the National Institute of Polar Research (NIPR) for their deep drilling of the Antarctic ice sheet. This is the first time in 17 years that Nippon Shintube has supplied aluminum tubes to the National Institute of Polar Research since 2002, when the company supplied them to the institute's 2003-2007 drilling project. According to the Polar Research Institute, the first drill is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. In order not to collide with the rotary drill stored inside, a high degree of precision was achieved with a length of 5 meters and a bending accuracy of 0.3 mm or less. "There are no molds left. We had to redo everything, including the materials," said Takeo Kitazawa, general manager of the Technology Development Department, Safety & Environment Department, and Management Department.
