The Campaign

It needs somebody knows Singapore's marketing situation. But general speaking, now in Asia, we found people usually spend more time alone with the smart device in public or even with friends. How can we encourage people to get together physically, express themselves and share it.

Results

Now in Asia, we found people usually spend more time alone with the smart device in public or even with friends. How can we encourage people to get together physically, express themselves and share it? We creates Tablet Man, who represents the leading innovation of Toshiba Japan as a unique symbol. Tablet Man is an interactive wearable technology system developed for Toshiba's asia market campaign 'future you'. This Tablet Man garment stands as a platform for connecting individuals with interactive activities, giving people a opportunity to experience the Toshiba technology and building a new relationship with this brand. Tablet Man is equipped with a number of Toshiba tablet screens, which are meant to invite people interacting with these tablets, and ask people to leave their wishes and own stories there, as a voice for the future - everything will be recorded and shared via social networks such as Facebook and youtube in the real time. The Tablet man captures people’s response with embedded sensors, and controls the sequence of EL responsive lights which illuminate its costume. The 'tablet man' is designed for traveling around whole asia, offering a unique, exciting interactive experience to the public.
