It's not just food, Japan has also excelled in launching advanced new products in electronics and telecommunications.

In the recently concluded CEATEC JAPAN 2014, the Asia's largest showcases for pioneering IT and electronics, Kyocera launched a new ultra-rugged TORQUE G01 smart phone.

It is the first US military Standard certified smart phone with high durability against water, dust, shock and other potential dangers in harsh outdoor environments and extreme work conditions.

Visitors tested this ruggedized Smartphone for its water-resistant and shock-resistant properties. The real-world usability with globes was also on display.

Visitors experienced Kyocera's proprietary Smart Sonic Receiver technology which transmits clear voice reception via vibrations on the display screen.

Kyocera also features special display of floating solar technology of the world's largest floating solar plant which will be operational in 2015.

Epson also highlighted a see-through type of wearable information device, "Moverio" which won the Grand Prize of CEATEC AWARD 2014 in Lifestyle Innovation Category.

Looking through the glasses, a giant 320-inch screen appears 20 metre in front of the viewer, while allowing simultaneous view of the surroundings.

"This is a wearable device which delivers visual information with excellent view ability, allowing users to perform tasks safely with both free hands. This helps users perform operations such as at the logistics warehouse or housing construction site," said an Epson representative.

Epson is a world leading projector maker.

Ultra-compact projectors built into the temples of this wearable device with Epson's micro-displays technology are loaded with various sensors and GPS functionality.

Wearable and next-generation automotive technologies take center stage at the Alps Electric booth.

Alps Electric has developed a tiny gaze detection sensor designed to be built into smart glasses.

"Alps Electric supports development of this device which detects the gaze motions and blinks. It is designed to monitor user's drowsiness and fatigue while driving or working at office," said a representative from Alps Electric.

Alps introduced another prototype of wearable device - a sensor network module ring, designed to pair with many devices.

"We installed the "daily use" functions into this ring. This ring is intended for notification of incoming call or emails, it can be used as contactless Key using Bluetooth, and enables electric payment with built in NFC - Near Field Communication technology," added the representative from Alps Electric.

The Automotive Zone showcased an original vehicle cockpit equipped with a variety of modules, combining core Alps technologies such as a large-screen head-up display, driver monitoring using the vital sign sensing, control system enabled by gaze detection and simple gesture.

The component is themed for safety, comfort and peace of mind.
