Hi everyone
Japan is an amazing country which combines the most advanced technologies with loyalty to traditions
Sometimes the Japanese create absolutely insane things, but they still care for everyone who lives in the country
Sometimes it seems that while the rest of the world lives in 2019. Japan has long been living in
3019 don't believe us. Well, we have a few examples to prove our point. Let's get it on
Toilet in the elevator. Have you ever been stuck in an elevator for a long time? Yes, it can be a really bad experience
Especially if the person's claustrophobic, but even for an absolutely healthy elevator passenger
This could be torture if you really needs to use the bathroom. No need to be ashamed though
We are all humans after all
Maybe you were just about to go to the restroom, but electricity failed and you got stuck in the elevator
What do you do next? And while this is a truly horrifying situation to imagine?
Let's see how they solve this issue in Japan
They put special
Benches in the elevators of office buildings and hotels you can sit on them if you get tired of standing and if necessary
They can be used as a toilet perhaps this practice should be adopted by other countries, too. This is a
An
Emergency supply
Wheelchair accessible bus in
Japan people with disabilities are perceived as people with additional needs and these needs must be
Satisfied for example public transport is accessible to anyone
There are special folding ramps in buses which help the person in a wheelchair get on the bus
The bus driver is responsible for handling this ramp and he also helps people with disabilities
To get in or leave the bus while the other passengers wait patiently and the Japanese didn't stop there
They continue to increase the accessibility of public
Transports today folding ramps in Japanese transport are still controlled manually
But the scientists are working on the automatic ramps that can unfold automatically and help the people with disabilities guess on the bus
parking chairs
After the working day is over the chairs in the office are often scattered in different places
This doesn't look orderly and takes time to put them back in place
That is why the Japanese
Company Nissan has developed office chairs that can park near the tables in order to activate these chairs
All you need to do is clap your hands and the chairs will drive to their intended places
The chairs use motion sensors to navigate around the office
They're controlled via Wi-Fi and although it's unlikely these chairs will be used in every office
We wonder if they can move under the weight of an office employee
Are they have any possibilities to arrange a race and what if someone would suddenly start clapping his hands during working hours?
Napping at work
Surely many of you have heard about this Japanese practice
The phenomenon known as in Emory is part of Japanese
Cultural code which demonstrates that the worker is so involved in the business process that he obviously doesn't have time to get a good sleep
Japanese traditions encourage daytime napping at work as well as in transport or other public places
Of course, you should not sleep right in front your boss
Some may not like it
According to some research people who take a nap at work are more productive than those who don't and that is another reason to encourage
In Emory, napping in the workplace has its own rules, too. You must not take up too much space
Otherwise, your colleagues will surely wake you up to tell you that they're not happy with your behavior
bus platforms
Driving through narrow streets is still a challenge for public transport, especially massive ones like a bus
Often these streets have one lane traffic and parking can be a real nightmare in Japan where each
Square inch of space is precious
They figured out how to solve this problem and installed special rotating platforms
The driver no longer risks crashing into the walls of surrounding buildings while trying to make a turn
electronics does the trick
By the way similar platforms are installed in the garages to ensure faster and safer driving
Well, the next thing they need is automated buses. Actually. Japan's got that covered too
Automated buses
Like many other developed countries. Japan is working on automated buses moreover
They have already created the first prototypes and even runs some tests so far. These buses don't drive long distances
And they are moving rather slowly
But this is only for now in order for the bus to navigate its way onto the road
It was equipped with laser sensors multiple cameras GPS the full package
The automated buses will be finished by the time the Tokyo Olympic Games commence in 2020. That is very soon
science
Imagine this you came to a new mall and are looking for a specific store
But you have no idea where to find it to make your search easier
You can use the digital
Map of the mall choose the floor you need and stare at the plan for a long time
And then what where do you go sound familiar?
Well in Japan they thought about it too and design special signs that turn in the right direction
And help you find the store you're looking for. It seems that soon. The Japanese will invent the marauders map. Just after wait a bit
umbrella sales
People use shoe covers in order not to leave wet or dirty marks on a clean floor in Japan
They went one step further and invented seals for umbrellas
It works as simple as it could get you just need to place the umbrella and a special device and this is it and this
is a much more useful thing that it seems at first glance if you enter the store after a heavy rain your umbrella will be
Wet and even in the folded state it will certainly touch someone it wouldn't leave any stains
But it will still be unpleasant and Japanese hate giving trouble to anyone. Even if it is just a quick touch of a wet. Umbrella
AED vending machines the Japanese really love all sorts of vending machines if you have seen at least one video about this
Country you probably know this they sell everything in vending machines from a variety of drinks and food to basic necessities
But the machines are not only for trade some of them have first-aid kits and
Defibrillators and it is really useful even
smart after all you never know where and at what points a person can need help and the right medicines may simply not be at
Hand and although ambulances in Japan always arrive quickly
sometimes it comes to the point when every second counts and the most ordinary vending machine can literally save a
Person's life where else? Can you see something like that?
Be a pouring machine
Yes machines in Japan sell almost everything the people who haven't been there
It's quite difficult to understand the drink vending machines along with Sakura
Sushi and Fuji armor are one of the main symbols of Japan they can even sell beer
And it will be paused so perfectly that the machine can leave real bartenders without a job
color changing clothes
Clothes that change color and pattern depending on your desire or mood sounds unlikely
Right as if this idea comes from some sci-fi movie about the distant future
But Japan already lives in the future because Japanese scientists have created a unique material or rather a very flexible
Display that can change color the best thing about this
Material is that after the color is displayed. You can turn the power off and the color will still remain on the material
Just imagine how much money you can save on your clothes
wedding robot
Japan is a country of advanced technologies and robotics are very sophisticated there as well
You can even say that robots become a part of everyday life of the Japanese people for example in
2010 a curious wedding took place in one of the restaurants in the center of Tokyo the groom Tommy Hiro Shibata and the bride
Satoko Anu Yi were officially Wed by an elegant five foot tall robot with plastic braids. I
Fairy is an Android made by kokoro a famous japanese manufacturer of robots and animatronics
The robot did its job perfectly this wedding was officially the first one held by a robot, by the way
The couple chose the robot to be the wedding conductor because they both are involved in robotics after exchanging vows
The bride said that with her wedding she wanted to show people the robots could easily fit into their everyday lives
Automatic doors
Of course, these are not the usual doors that can be found in any supermarket
These special barriers are installed that Shinkansen stations a high-speed network of Japanese railways famous throughout the world over
50 years Shinkansen has carried more than 10 billion passengers
But not the single passenger has died juice a train accidents such as crashes or collisions
Even the earthquakes that occur in Japan had no impact on these trains
However, there were some injuries and death caused by the closing of doors and passengers falling from and in front of moving trains to
avoid such accidents
Automatic barriers were installed at the stations which opened only after the train arrived
Military robots. Well, we can't talk about Japan and not mention battle robots
Despite the fact that the Army of the Land of the Rising Sun is powerful enough without robots
This technology can be used to protect the country
Today battle robots are not only a classic element of anime or blockbusters from Michael Bay the Japanese robot
Kurtis was created in 2012. It's roughly four meters tall it weighs four and a half tons
So it is quite a serious threat. The robot is not autonomous either. It's controlled by an operator who sits inside
However, entran is say that Kurtis is just a toy or is it hey, stop being lazy. It's time to use that brain of yours
