Thematic Exhibition
Recycling Disco
Recycling is just like a turntable... Keep it going and the party never ends!
While getting into the bouncy rhythm of disco music,
let’s experience the latest plastic recycling technologies!
This is a space just like disco dance floor, where you can experience plastic sorting in a fun way as you dance and play music. Follow DJ Factory Manager's lead and boost Sodateru Town’s recycling efforts, by using a table!
"1. Collect products that may be recycled. 2. Sort out different types of plastic materials. 3. Experience how the town becomes a happier place as a result of recycled products returning to the town.
When you have accomplished these three missions, you will be a ""Recycling DJ,"" too."

Experience-based Exhibition
"Plastic sorting technologies" to improve recycling efficiency
Visit to Plastic Recycling Factory
"This is the cutting edge of plastic sorting technologies!
Visit a plastic recycling factory to learn about high levels of expertise."
"This is a plastic recycling factory where we try to make home electric appliances and everyone happy with music.
In this exhibition, you can experience sorting technologies and expertise for the recycling of a variety of plastics used in home electric appliances, including TVs and air conditioners, while getting into rhythms. For statistic electricity separation, your challenge is to sort out different plastics, by adjusting electric voltage, while playing a turntable. You will also see concept models of home appliances that use plastics correctly sorted."
"Plastic sorting technologies" to contribute towards a sustainable society
Three methods are used for separation. The first one is "specific gravity separation," which utilizes buoyancy to sort plastics into those light, heavy, and other. Secondly, "static electricity separation" entails charging crushed plastics with static electricity and sorting them by adjusting voltages. The third approach is called "X-ray sorting," which picks out recyclable plastics, by using X-rays to identify and remove harmful substances.
In order to recover more plastics that can be recycled, operational knowhow is essential, as well as sorting technologies. By providing sophisticated sorting technologies to transform those at the end of their useful lives into new products, we will further contribute to creating a recycling-based society.

"Guidebook Application on Stations and Towns" Designed for the Revitalization of Regional Urban Economies
ekinote
ekinote@Sodateru Town
“ekinote” is a "guidebook application on stations and towns" that allows you to re-discover and gather the charm of 9,100 stations across Japan and their surrounding urban areas. This experience-based exhibition provides the simulation of a future that ekinote aims to create, starting from stations. In this future, you can discover information that you didn't have, and everyone joins in building a town.
We hope you enjoy this experience, in which you can "discover" information around the Ginza Station and "grow" towns, by posting your own recommendations surrounding your local or favorite stations.

Hygienic operation using a screen that floats in midair !
Hygienic Touch Operable Aerial Display
Mitsubishi Electric has developed Hygienic Touch Operable Aerial Display as a new type of touch panel monitor that combines aerial display and spatial touch technologies.
By allowing hygienic operation of touchscreens such as in public facilities, medical institutions, and ofces that are used by a large number of people, Mitsubishi Electric’s Hygienic Touch Operable Aerial Display delivers a solution to the physical contact issue in today’s New Normal society.
Operation of futuristic aerial images ensures hygiene
1. The display oats in midair, unlike any conventional display
Images appear in midair without the use of any special effects such as glasses or mist.
2. A spatial touch sensor allows intuitive operation of aerial images
Images that appear in midair can be intuitively touch-operated, because a spatial touch sensor detects the spatial position of users’ ngertips.
3. Users can operate the control panel without contaminating their hands
Aerial images that oat in midair can be operated without contact, ensuring hygiene.
Up to now, users had to wash their hands each time they operated a control panel, but handwashing is no longer necessary, as no harmful substances can be spread via the aerial panel.
