Hello!

We exhibited at TOKYO DIGICONX, held January 9–11, 2025 at Tokyo Big Sight.

Here is a quick report on our three days at the show!

TOKYO DIGICONX

TOKYO DIGICONX took place in Tokyo Big Sight's South Halls 3 and 4. Officially titled "TOKYO XR, Metaverse & Content Business World," it is an exhibition that brings together xR, the metaverse, content, AI, and other advanced technologies.

We Unveiled MotionVox™

Our exhibit centered on our new service, MotionVox™.

MotionVox™ is an AI avatar video generation service that easily transforms the face and voice in a video into an AI avatar.

Just three steps: upload a video you've shot yourself, then choose the face and voice you want. No special equipment is required, and it delivers natural facial expressions and lip sync.

It can be used for a wide range of purposes, including internal training, YouTube content, and documentary production.

Our Booth

With this being MotionVox™'s exhibition debut, we staffed the booth with a team of three and brought even more energy than usual 😊

On the first and second days—the business days—we welcomed many visitors from companies and local governments.

Thank you to the many visitors who stopped by

Our demonstrations drew delighted reactions like "Wait, that's not a real person?" and "My voice can become someone else's voice?" Visitors also booked demonstrations and offered words of encouragement—urging us to hold our own against AI companies around the world—for which our whole team is deeply grateful.

Demonstrations

Here on the blog, we'd like to share part of what we demonstrated at the show!

How to Use MotionVox

Closing Thoughts and Thanks

To everyone who visited our booth and shared their expectations for us at this exhibition: thank you very much.

We will be following up in turn on the valuable feedback we received, as well as on requests for demos and appointments!

We will keep working to improve the service and expand what MotionVox™ can do, and we appreciate your continued support.

Hardening a Raspberry Pi 5: SSH keys, UFW, fail2ban — and the trap where IPv6 comes back after a reboot

A freshly set up Raspberry Pi 5 is wide open: password auth enabled, no firewall, 172 pending updates. We harden it with SSH key-only auth, UFW, fail2ban, and automatic updates, disable IPv6, and verify it all with real reboots — including the trap where IPv6 comes back after a reboot.

Setting Up a Raspberry Pi 5 Without a Monitor: From OS Imaging to SSH Using Only a Windows PC

Set up a Raspberry Pi 5 with no monitor or micro HDMI cable, using only a Windows PC. We use the Raspberry Pi Imager CLI and firstrun.sh to preconfigure Wi-Fi and SSH, with the full procedure and measured timings — about 3 minutes from SD card insertion to an SSH connection.
