We designed 12 different projected images of a male silhouette and made projector kits. The main point in our work was to show the male silhouette as if the man was really there. We tested over and over to figure out, for example, how far the man should be standing from the curtain, how he should move to look natural, how his movements should be combined together, etc. Projector kits were given to female residents. The kits have been used roughly 36,000 times so far. We created the service which is available on the smartphone so that anyone can use it easily.
Professor Deguchi testified “having a man’s shadow on the curtain can greatly help prevent crimes for the residents.” Media impression with no ads was worth $2.71million The percentage of women who felt safe by using the kit was 97% The percentage of brand trust in Japan went up to 82.5% The project not only became the most trending news in Japan, but also spread to global news, such as Reuters, Associated Press, and more.
Criminals tend to target the women living alone. We thought that we could prevent crimes if these women did not seem to be living alone. (Mr. Deguchi, a professor and criminal psychologist, said that this method could be very effective.) We also wanted to make sure the service is available on the smartphone so that anyone can use it easily. If women can live safely, women can be active in society.
