Visitors to Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp.’s pavilion at the Osaka Kansai Expo can enjoy the female group Perfume’s trademark cutting-edge performance in the latest 3-D technology to match. 

Prior to the expo, NTT will record the electro-pop trio at the Expo ’70 Commemorative Park in Suita, Osaka Prefecture, on April 2 in 3-D.

The company will transmit the data to the expo pavilion through the Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN), its next-generation telecommunications infrastructure, which allows for little data transmission delay.

The live performance re-enacted with video footage and vibrations based on the data will be streamed live on the company’s website.

NTT bills it as the first real-time 3-D “spatial information transmission,” a technology that makes people feel as if an event at a distant location is being staged in front of their eyes.

After the expo opens on April 13, visitors donning 3-D glasses can experience a simulated spatial information transmission based on the stored live performance data.

At the 1970 Osaka Expo, NTT’s predecessor, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corp., displayed a wireless telephone, which was a dream technology at the time.
