Touch Sensor Technology Respectfully Helps Tourists Visit Shinto shrines
Japan has become an increasingly
popular destination for holidaymakers
who value its unique culture and
heritage. Japan is home to 23 World
Heritage Sites, ranging from beautiful
lakes, stunning waterfalls and lush
bamboo forests, to serene shrines
and tranquil temples. Tourists from 68
countries are now able to freely visit
Japan without a visa. Consequently,
visitor numbers have soared in recent
years, with the Japanese National
Tourism Organisation (JNTO) estimating
that over 31 million overseas travellers
came to the country in 2018.
This increase in tourism has meant
that the provision of multilingual
local information, often via outdoor
interactive kiosks has become more
important. Digital signage system
supplier, HYOJITO, is a leader in such
public information and wayfinding
solutions for the Japanese mass transit
sector, and also deploys similar public
information display systems for city
streets and other municipal spaces.
Its wayfinding system, (“NAVITA”) is
installed in more than 85 government
buildings such as city and municipal
offices, along with numerous
placements in railway and bus stations,
together with other locations.
An unusual application of their
system is the installation of large
interactive touchscreens in Shinto
shrines. Many visitors to these sacred
places are not fully
aware of the cultural
expectations and
etiquette required
while visiting the
shrines. When
developing a signage
system that provides
advice and guidance
for tourists wishing
to spend time in the
shrines, HYOJITO
chose Zytronic’s
Projected Capacitive
Technology (PCT and MPCT).
“We have developed a special,
touch interactive digital signage system
that can be operated remotely,” Mr.
Akihiro Yokota, manager of digital
solution at HYOJITO commented.
“A large touchscreen with high
resolution that can withstand longterm
use in all weather was essential.
This was especially important for
the Jinja Navita application, as
almost all are installed outdoors.
Here, a highly reliable touchscreen
technology that can perform well in
any environment was essential.”
When correctly applied to the
rear surface of a piece of glass,
Zytronic’s ZyFilm touch technology will
operate reliably even in the harshest
environments and support displays
of any size up to 85in with single or
multi-touch functionality. For the
Jinja Navita, 46in and 55in film-based,
adhesive touch sensors were used.
Manufactured at Zytronic’s facility in
the UK, they are shipped to Japan rolled
into cardboard tubes (for cost efficient
transportation) and laminated to the
back of locally sourced, printed glass.
As the majority of Navita systems are
used by a single user at a time, HYOJITO
opted for sensors designed to work with
Zytronic’s ZXY100 and ZXY110 touch
controllers, depending on whether
single or dual-touch performance is
required. Both deliver millisecond fast,
accurate touch response, and support
simple gesture controls, such as swipes.
The Jinja Navita system is now
installed outside in the grounds of over
20 Shinto shrines providing multilingual
public information, educating
overseas visitors how to behave
appropriately during their visit. n

Digital signage media player company BrightSign, LLC,
has announced that Moki’s cloud-based Mobile Device
Management (MDM) software now offers support for
BrightSign media players via BSN.cloud Control Cloud.
Moki Device Management for BrightSign brings extensive
remote management capabilities to BrightSign devices and

who manage BrightSign devices within their networks.”

deployment and management of single-purpose, multiuser
solutions. The company’s platform is uniquely
suited to expansive deployments, as Moki enables
remote device management in mixed environments. This
