We will be providing the THINKLET wearable device for the invitation-only volunteer Pokemon Card Tournament “KAMITOHITO INVITATIONAL 2024” | Press release from Fairy Devices Co., Ltd.

THINKLET, which we introduce this time, is a neck wearable device developed by our company. It is equipped with a wide-angle camera and can capture images of the wearer's entire field of vision and transmit them to a distant location in real time. It is a device that allows the wearer to share his or her “experience” at a remote location hands-free. It is mainly used to record the work of field workers and support remote work. At KHI2024, we plan to have some of the participating players wear them and record the footage.

In Trading Card Games (TCG) like the Pokemon card game, the information you have is very important. Videos shot with THINKLET can be used in a variety of ways, including gamer reviews, game viewing, and creating YouTube-like video content, and have already been trialled by many participating players to great acclaim. We hope that through this opportunity this device will help expand the world of card games significantly.

■ What is Thinklet?

THINKLET is a wearable device equipped with LTE/Wi-Fi technology. Fairy Devices aims to create a “fairy”-like AI that can ride on humans' shoulders and assist humans by being uniquely designed so that it can make the most of the AI ​​and software technologies that Fairy Devices has developed over the years. It was developed as a device that embodies the ideas contained in the company's name. LINKLET services using THINKLET hardware have won numerous awards, including a triple CES Innovation Award.

■Thinklet Features

– Equipped with a built-in 5-channel microphone array, it is the world's first wearable device*. This makes it possible to capture the wearer's voice clearly. Moreover, by combining XFE, a front-end audio processing library from Fairy Devices, it is possible to achieve clear audio range even in high-noise environments such as construction and maintenance sites and factories, and achieve high performance in speech recognition.

– Equipped with an ultra-wide-angle camera, it can capture the wearer's entire field of vision and transmit it to a remote location in real time. Because it is worn on the shoulder, video images are more stable than line-of-sight cameras, and users can share their experiences with remote locations hands-free.

– It runs “Fairy OS”, a proprietary operating system based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project). Hardware function control software is provided as an SDK and can run generic Android applications (some technical limitations apply).
