Case Study - Latest Video Service for Tsutenkaku Tower Slider
FA computer implementation case study now available! The Tsutenkaku Tower Slider features the latest video service, achieving stable, high-quality, and high-speed large-capacity processing technology.
On May 9, 2022, a new experiential attraction called the "Tower Slider" was born at Tsutenkaku, a registered tangible cultural property in Osaka Prefecture and a long-loved symbol of Shinsekai. The Tower Slider allows visitors to drop from the 3rd floor observation deck at 22 meters above ground, circling around the outer perimeter of the elevator tower down to the basement level in one swift motion. The latest video service processing technology for this attraction utilizes Contec's VPC-5000. The video service for the Tsutenkaku Tower Slider provides videos, not just photos, to everyone instantly. Upon arriving at the exit, videos are generated within approximately 30 seconds, including footage taken at the entrance, the default sliding scene, and footage taken at the exit. These videos are quickly uploaded to a monitor at the exit in full HD 2K quality. Visitors can download their videos by scanning the QR code on the monitor and connecting to a dedicated Wi-Fi network, making it easy to view and save the video data. The core of the video processing system, which enables the accurate, stable, and high-speed processing of high-quality video data exceeding 30MB in size in sync with the slider's operation, is Contec's industrial high-end FA computer, the VPC-5000.
basic information
【Key Points of Implementation】 Challenges In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we considered a new slide attraction as a strategy to attract visitors. However, we believed that a purely analog experience of just sliding down would be weak, so we pursued a hybrid approach with a video streaming service that offers continuous promotional effects. Results We have successfully combined the analog slide characteristic of Tsutenkaku with a digital video streaming service that is not typical of Tsutenkaku, operating it with high quality and fast processing. The VPC-5000 ensures trouble-free operation. We have updated our monthly user count to over 10,000, and the total number of visitors has also seen a V-shaped recovery.
