The newly announced "electronic watermark tag" with a ucode embedded into it is shown on the left. The Ubiquitous Communicator on the right can read this ucode with its electronic eye and then use a ubiquitous computing network to get, in this case, information on how to access an airport.

These pictures show the Ubiquitous Communicator being employed in Autonomous Movement Support Project verification trials. On the left, YRP UNL researchers in Kobe are showing how the visually disabled can use the UC and a white cane antenna to find their way through a shopping district. On the left, a person in the tourist town of Tsuwano is using the UC to get tourist information. Tourist information is obtained by reading markers shown in the lower right.

These two pictures show the nT-Engine basic board front (left) and back (right). The arrow on the left indicates the location of the nT-Engine ASIC, the arrow in the middle the UNP connector, and the arrow on the right the control signal connector.

This is a picture of pT-Engine, which is intended for wireless network applications.

These are pictures of a solar cell powered pT-Engine, the board of which can be seen at the bottom of the globe (left).
