From July 15 (Tuesday) to July 20 (Sunday), 2025, the "42nd Daihatsu Japan Open 2025 Badminton Championships" was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. We would like to report on the motion capture experience session conducted by Yonex Co., Ltd. at the venue. During the experience session, participants were asked to swing three different types of rackets from different generations, focusing on whether there were differences in their top speeds. The measurement was conducted using the same Raptor-12HS system utilized at the Yonex Performance Innovation Center (Blue Lab). This was a valuable opportunity to experience the research equipment that is not currently open to the public and to see what kind of measurements are being conducted! ---[Yonex Co., Ltd.

In March 2025, we released the latest firmware Ver. 2.18 for the MEMRECAM ACS-1 and ACS-3, which we manufacture and sell. ■ Activation of Black and White Boost Mode for Color Camera Models The "Black and White Boost Mode," which was previously only available for black and white camera models, can now also be used with color camera models. ■ Quality Priority Mode This feature allows for high-quality shooting by significantly reducing noise by limiting the camera's maximum sensitivity. It captures details of the subject clearly while maintaining brightness and darkness, making it ideal for image analysis such as PIV and DIC. ■ Increased Shutter Speed The shutter speed during shooting has been increased, achieving a maximum exposure time of 100ns for the ACS-1 and 400ns for the ACS-3. ■ Increased Resolution for High-Speed Shooting Previously, when shooting at 400,000 frames per second in the boost mode of ACS cameras, the maximum recording resolution was 1,280×192. By updating to Ver. 2.18, the vertical resolution increases by an impressive 67%, allowing shooting at a resolution of 1,280×320.

NAC Image Technology will exhibit at the "Automotive Engineering Exposition 2024 YOKOHAMA" held at Pacifico Yokohama from May 22 (Wednesday) to May 24 (Friday), 2024. We will showcase visualization methods used in automotive development utilizing "high-speed cameras," "gaze measurement devices," and "motion capture," as well as our unique quantitative analysis system based on years of image analysis technology. We will propose measurement tools suitable for improving "safety," "fuel efficiency," and "comfort" through video analysis. Additionally, we will display the Active Safety (AD/ADAS) testing evaluation tools from the German company MESSRING. We sincerely look forward to your visit.

We will solve such questions! - Is it possible to easily digitize and compare human movements? - Are there motion capture systems that are easy to handle? - Are there motion capture systems that do not put a burden on the subjects being measured? - Can motion analysis be done without specialized knowledge? We will provide a clear explanation even for those who have no experience with motion measurement or motion capture. After explaining the system, we will actually measure walking movements and demonstrate the analysis of basic walking patterns and the quantification of movements. -------- -------- -------- -------- "Digi2" is a service that consistently performs everything from "motion measurement to analysis and report output" without requiring specialized knowledge or skills. Traditionally, motion analysis using motion capture was aimed at professional athletes and required the cooperation of experts such as trainers, analysts, and technicians. With "Digi2," which automates the output of analysis reports, it can be utilized for more familiar individuals in areas such as sports proficiency, rehabilitation of motor functions, and early detection of injury risks. Please feel free to join us.

Recently, as the technological competition in the materials field intensifies year by year, the verification and consideration of material strength and durability to enhance competitiveness have become increasingly important. We have received many inquiries from companies that want to conduct material testing but are unsure of what experiments to perform or how to obtain useful data. Therefore, we have decided to invite Associate Professor Hiroyuki Yamada from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, System Engineering Group, National Defense Medical College, who has been engaged in research on impact engineering for many years, to hold a seminar on the fundamentals and applications of impact engineering. He will provide a clear explanation of the concept of stress waves, which is crucial in impact engineering, and methods for testing material deformation, making this seminar highly recommended for researchers involved in material strength research and testing. We encourage you to participate. Additionally, for attendees present at the venue, we plan to conduct a demonstration of stress wave experiments after the lecture. *Please note that participation from competing companies may be declined.

In this seminar, we will introduce how the movement of the pupils affects emotions and interests using the KIKU-NAC system, focusing on the following two themes: - Does pupil dilation contribute to the feeling of attraction? - When analyzing pupil responses while separating "shizuru-kan" into auditory and visual components, can we gain new insights? Additionally, we will provide information on experimental results and applications regarding methods to generate interest and curiosity. If you are interested in research using pupil responses, please join us.

■ Seminar Overview Pupil response is one of the psychological and physiological reactions and serves as a valuable source of information about a person's inner state. In this seminar, we will provide a detailed explanation of the procedures for analyzing pupil responses. The analyzed data obtained from pupil responses can be utilized in a wide range of fields, including healthcare, medical applications, content evaluation, education, mobility comfort, mobile and game content, consumer behavior, occupational safety and suitability assessment, and specialized research projects. If you are interested in research using pupil responses, please join us.
