NEC sponsors Vodafone Innovation Day 2011 in Germany

ntttttttttttt

NEC Corp will be a gold sponsor of the Vodafone Innovation Day 2011 from Tuesday through Thursday at the Vodafone Test & Innovation Center in Düsseldorf, Germany. NEC will showcase some of its IT solutions and technologies under development for the benefit of Vodafone’s subscribers and enterprise customers.

NEC’s interactive exhibits will illustrate how diverse technologies can be integrated to create new business opportunities. These include:

“PaPeRo” the Communicating Robot.

It will welcome guests to the event, who can interact with him through speech, touch and movement. PaPeRo’s applications include healthcare, where he can monitor patients’ well-being, and provide them with health advice and stimulus in their own homes.

The Cloud Communicator

The Cloud Communicator is an Android based tablet featuring two 7″ screens. Guests will see how it interacts with NEC’s M2M platform – known as Connexive – to deliver a range of healthcare applications. These take advantage of the cloud’s potential for secure data sharing to maximize the efficiency of front-line medical staff.

Virtually Me – interactive digital signage for the retail sector

As visitors pass in front of display screens equipped with a range of sensors, a tailored advertisement is created for each “shopper”, based on age, gender and M2M (machine-to-machine) interactions. This leveraging of information about individual customers allows retailers to display goods for maximum impact.
