One of them is the display using a laser beam. We proposed an aerial viewing system that combines this technology with drone technology. This proposal was adopted for the Yumeshima demonstration experiment for the purpose of fostering momentum and innovation for the holding of the Osaka-Kansai Expo, and in 2022, the world's first large-scale aerial display using drones was realized in Yumeshima, the site of the Expo. The efforts of this Yumeshima demonstration experiment were covered by the media and contributed greatly to the PR of the EXPO2025 event. In addition, displaying the necessary information at the desired position in the air can contribute not only to advertisements and events, but also to solving social issues in a wide range of fields, such as disaster prevention such as evacuation guidance in the event of a disaster, crime prevention, and distress rescue. In particular, disaster prevention and crime prevention applications have attracted a lot of attention in the media under the slogan "Protecting 'life' with drones and lasers." In addition, the application of aerial displays to entertainment and advertising will create new emotions that have never been seen before, and we would like to further evolve this technology and contribute to the realization of a "future society where life shines" and the super-smart society of Society 5.0. To that end, we would like to further develop this technology to realize practical application and link it to true social contribution.Future Life ZoneOpen Time18/05/2025 10:00～21:00
