Experience the Future of Door Knobs

The world is on the brink of a technological evolution, and Osaka is set to lead the way with its groundbreaking installation, the 'Future Door Knob.' Developed by Union Co., Ltd. and Tengun-label, this innovative prototype pairs non-contact haptics with 3D holographic displays, offering a new kind of interaction.

Installation Overview

This unique interactive installation will be showcased during the Osaka Kansai Expo on two separate occasions:

First Exhibition

• - Dates: May 20 - May 26, 2025
• - Operating Hours: 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM
• - Theme: 'Exciting Future Living from Osaka'
• - Venue: Osaka Healthcare Pavilion 'Nest for Reborn' (Zone 6, Reborn Challenge)
• - Organizer: Ikeda Senshu Bank

Second Exhibition

• - Dates: July 8 - July 14, 2025
• - Operating Hours: 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM
• - Theme: 'No/BORdER: Technology Transcending Boundaries'
• - Venue: Osaka Healthcare Pavilion 'Nest for Reborn' (Zone 6, Reborn Challenge)
• - Organizer: Osaka Industrial Promotion Organization

The Osaka Kansai Expo is anticipated to attract significant attention, providing a platform for small businesses and startups to present their cutting-edge technologies. Union Co., Ltd., a door knob manufacturing pioneer since 1958, collaborates with Tengun-label to create the 'Future Door,' offering visitors a touch experience that transcends physical contact. This concept goes beyond mere observation and hygiene to redefine human interaction through technology.

The Technology Behind It

The 'Future Door Knob' integrates several advanced technologies that enhance user experience:

1. Non-Contact Height Measurement & Knob Position Adjustment: Using 3D sensing and AI skeletal estimation, the system automatically adjusts the virtual knob position according to the user's height.
2. 3D Holographic Projection: High-resolution virtual door knobs are projected into real space through cutting-edge 3D holographic display technology.
3. Real-Time 3D Hand Tracking: The installation incorporates swift and precise hand tracking, allowing intuitive interaction without the need for physical contact.
4. Ultrasonic Haptics: This innovative device recreates the sensation of touch in mid-air without any physical contact, giving visitors a sense of 'grasping' the door knob.
5. Non-Contact Blood Pressure Measurement: AI algorithms and imaging processing technologies estimate non-contact blood pressure by analyzing skin blood flow variations on the face.
6. Non-Contact Posture Measurement: Real-time visualization of posture and movement utilizing 3D sensing and AI skeletal estimation allows for applications in health management and motion analysis.
