Sony and Yamaha Motor Launch Entertainment Cart Service
Tokyo, Japan – Sony Corporation (“Sony”)
today announced that the Sociable Cart SC-1, jointly developed with Yamaha Motor Company Limited (“Yamaha Motor”),
will begin service on November 1, 2019.
The first phase of this service launch
will take place in Okinawa Prefecture’s Kanucha Bay Resort in Nago City, and the Southeast Botanical Garden in Okinawa City.
The initial service, Moonlight Cruise,
is a night-time showcase where passengers ride on SC-1 after dark.
Rather than being controlled by the passengers, SC-1’s ultra-high sensitivity image sensors and high-resolution display start by showing the night-time scenery and overlaying entertainment content generated by the MR technology,
