Japanese mobile operator NTT Docomo will present experiential demonstrations, stage shows and touch-and-try sessions, introducing a wide range of services and technologies at CEATEC Japan 2014, reported Telecompaper.com on Sept 18, 2014. Exhibits will include the latest interface for mobile communications, in-vehicle agent services for drivers, and a wearable healthcare device that can measure acetone emitted from human skin. The CEATEC mobile industry trade show will be held in Japan from 7 to 11 October.

CEATEC visitors will be able to watch demonstrations of Docomo\'s Yubi Navi prototype navigation device that uses tactile sensations for various functions. By holding the device, a user can navigate to destinations based on tactile sensations, eliminating the need to look at a map on a smartphone screen. The device can also be used for nonvisual, nonverbal communication of feelings and emotions, which are expressed through tactile sensations emitted by the device.

Docomo\'s in-vehicle agent converses with people as they drive, using driving circumstances and information learned through previous conversations. The demo will allow visitors to experience two-way verbal communication with the voice agent.

Docomo will also present a 5G transmission experiment. A 5G mobile network is currently under development by Docomo. The network will offer 100 times the speed and 1,000 times the capacity of today\'s LTE network.
