Exhibition Highlights

VistaFinder Mx Version 3.0

This next-generation remote support system is designed to connect on-site and remote locations in real-time through video, enabling instant situation sharing and assistance. With its adoption across diverse industries such as construction, infrastructure, healthcare, and public sectors, VistaFinder Mx Version 3.0 is poised to revolutionize traditional communication practices. The latest version boasts an intuitive UI/UX for easy operation, allowing optimal video streaming without extensive settings. Additionally, users can share images and utilize AR writing features while viewing live video feeds, making it easier to give instructions during operations.

New Feature: Automatic Simultaneous Interpretation

The automatic simultaneous interpretation capability provides seamless translation, allowing for smooth communication in multilingual environments. One of the most notable features of this product is its ability to function in an on-premises setup, enabling translation to begin simply by speaking. This eliminates the need for manual operations like starting or stopping the translation, ensuring natural conversation flow even in diverse language settings. In closed networks where internet access is limited, users can pair this solution with smart glasses and maintain hands-free communication during their tasks.

During the exhibition, live demonstrations will showcase how users can engage in natural dialogues while wearing the device, highlighting real-world applications of the hands-free automatic simultaneous interpretation feature. The available languages for this innovative technology include Japanese, English, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, French, Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese, totaling nine languages.
