Towards the largest renewal of Tokyo Dome ever-image of full-scale introduction of complete cashless and face authentication

Tokyo Dome has undergone the largest renewal ever. The introduction of digital signage, complete cashless payment, full-scale introduction of face recognition technology, etc. have made significant progress through DX. Full-scale operation will start from the opening game scheduled to be held on March 2nd. In the renewal, in addition to newly establishing the largest main vision in Japan, the premium lounge has been fully renewed. With the full-scale introduction of face recognition technology, the venue has become completely cashless. The face recognition technology uses Panasonic System Solutions Japan's face recognition cloud service "KPAS Cloud". It will be introduced as a service "facethru" that allows entrance and payment with pre-registered face images. The gate body and ticketing are linked with e-plus, and Suica is linked with the cloud-based ID authentication system "ID-PORT" provided by JR East Mechatronics to build various ID linkage mechanisms. Entry by face authentication and entry by Suica authentication are realized at one entrance gate. By registering your face image on the website and linking it with your admission ticket, you can enter with facial recognition at the dedicated lane at the gate. Face authentication payment requires registration of credit card information separately. At the time of entry, the registered face image is compared with the face taken by the camera of the terminal installed in the dedicated lane at the gate, and only those who are OK are allowed to enter. When paying at a store, the face is authenticated by the camera of the terminal installed in the store, and after matching it with the registered face image and confirming the identity, the payment can be made by entering the PIN (personal identification number). Face recognition entrance is available in some lanes of Gates 20, 22, 25, 40, and 41 of Tokyo Dome. Face recognition payment is available at the "G-STORE" in front of Gate 23 and 4 stores in Tokyo Dome "Dome Shop 104, 105". Installed in "TOKYO POTATO" and "DIAMOND BOX/CHAMPIONS SEAT FOOD & DRINK COUNTER". The aim is to reduce the waiting time through smooth authentication and reduce the risk of infection by reducing contact opportunities. Approximately 260 digital signages have been installed in the stadium concourse, etc., and it is devised so that even if you are away from your seat, you can see the game footage and production footage. In conjunction with the development of the game, we will also carry out a project to enhance the sense of unity throughout the stadium, such as displaying a specific video on the signage in the stadium all at once. The main vision installed in the stadium has introduced a full-color LED main vision, which is the largest size of a single stadium in Japan. The area is about 1050 square meters, which is about 4.4 times larger than the conventional main vision (238 square meters). It is said that it is possible to create a rich production expression such as video linked with music and lighting and combination with still images. Approximately 650 LED lights are installed in the venue, and can be controlled by "DMX" interlocking that can send and receive digital signals of 512 channels. You can enjoy the lighting pattern linked with the main vision image and sound. As for the seats, the highest rank "Diamond Box" located behind the back net has been increased from the conventional 160 seats to 290 seats, and an L-shaped sofa has been arranged to serve as a group seat for 4 people, "THE 3rd PLATINUM BOX". ”, and “SKY TERRACE” located in the front block of the second floor seats. On the 3rd floor area behind the back net, "THE SUITE TOKYO" consisting of 28 rooms has also been fully renewed.
