This experiment of displaying local disaster information on electronic papers was conducted by establishing a wireless communication network centered on an emergency center built inside Toshima Life and Industry Plaza. The aim of the test was to prove the effectiveness of the system as evacuation guidance for people who might not be able to return home in the event of a disaster.

If you happen to be around Tokyo and you want to see it, better hurry, because it'll be only displayed until January 29th.
