Future Mobility Across Cultures - Beyond 5G Project showcase

Future Mobility Across Cultures 

Beyond 5G Project showcase

Join us for an evening of innovation and exploration as we showcase design-led Innovation projects focused on future mobility scenarios enabled by 5G & 6G technologies in the 2030s and beyond. Let’s imagine and discuss the world of creative possibilities and witness the power of technology and multicultural design mindset to shape the future of human mobility.

This event celebrates creative exchange between The University of Tokyo DLX Design Lab and Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem, Israel.

A team of 8 design-researchers and creative technologists have developed a project dealing with walkability in mobility arenas, in the near future. The team consists of hi-tech designers, an artist, and even one air force pilot.

＊The results of this research were obtained through research commissioned by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT).
