The Nikkei Innovation Lab develops "Nikkei
IoT Smart Mirror" and collaborates with JALFebruary 17, 2022 ⒝ The Nikkei Innovation Lab, a research and development organization ofNikkei Inc., has collaborated with Japan Airlines (JAL) to create the "IoT Smart Mirror: Nikkei x
JAL Aomori Edition," a mirror-shaped device with a built-in tablet terminal. This new invention
allows users to easily check travel and traffic information as well as the latest news as they go
about their daily lives. We will be exhibiting the device at "Playable Week 2022," an event tocelebrate the second anniversary of the opening of JR Takanawa Gateway Station in Minato-ku,
Tokyo, from March 2 to 6. The IoT Smart Mirror: Nikkei x JAL Aomori Edition will be on display
for two days from March 5 to 6.
The Nikkei IoT Smart Mirror resembles a conventional mirror in shape. It can function in thesame way as a familiar mirror does, but instead of merely reflecting what it in front of it, theNikkei IoT Smart Mirror simultaneously displays a variety of information on its surface.
In the past, to increase the reflectivity of a mirror, it was also necessary to increase its thickness,making it more difficult to use manually. With the technology developed by the Nikkei
Innovation Lab, however, a device has now been realizedthat can be used as a mirror while also being operated
more easily by touch.
The Nikkei IoT Smart Mirror was conceived as a new pointof contact for users, who already spend a great deal of timeusing PCs and smartphones. The new device can display
newspaper articles, stock prices, weather-related data andother types of information, customizable by the user. Webelieve that in the future, the Nikkei IoT Smart Mirror will beof great value in offices, beauty salons and lounges, amongother locations.
