Mobile app created to keep tourists in Japan safe in a natural disaster

The new smartphone application is meant to help guide people in English, Korean, and Chinese.

The Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Company has now released a mobile app that has been designed to be able to provide tourists in the country with the information that they need in English, Korean, or Chinese, in case a natural disaster should occur.

Company officials explained that the mobile application will guide visitors to the country to safety.

The mobile app is aimed specifically at tourists and exchange students that are visiting from other countries and who don’t necessarily know the procedures in the event of a natural disaster while they are in Japan. A Japanese language version of the mobile application was already launched back in 2012. Since that time, it has been downloaded 500,000 times.

The new multilingual version of the mobile app will contain the same functions as the original Japanese version.

Mobile App - Japanese TouristsThis smartphone app has been built with a number of different functions, including an important map feature that identifies evacuation centers that are located nearby. These features are available through the app regardless of whether or not the device is able to connect to the internet at the time, provided that it has already been downloaded.

The cell phones of the users can provide very accurate directions from precisely where the user is. They simply need to aim their mobile devices at the buildings that are located nearby. The application is able to recognize them and will provide them with evacuation center location details based on that specific spot.

Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance has been able to come to agreements with seven different local authorities that are located across the country in order to publicize the positions of the evacuation centers by way of the Japanese version of the software. Now, the hope from the insurer is to be able to connect with a larger number of universities and regional authorities so that they will be able to take part in the multilingual version, as well.

The agreement that was established for the mobile app with the Narita airport operator located near Tokyo will help the insurance company to be able to offer guidance options around the airport for tourists to the area, as well.

Star Wars mobile game app with augmented reality launched by Disney

The new application also offers a range of different features such as mini-games, news feeds, and selfie tools.

The Walt Disney Company has now released a new mobile game app with a Star Wars theme that is designed to give users the complete experience, from selfie tools to mini-games, and from news feeds to a number of augmented reality components, among other things.

This free mobile app was released last week and is meant to be the official connection to the brand.

In fact, when Disney released it, they called it “your official mobile connection to a galaxy far, far away.” The mobile game app is free to download and is available for both iOS and Android users. While mobile apps that are tied to movies have a tradition of being so-so, at best, this one at least provides users with a large number of different types of experience and it has been created to keep fans up to date with the very latest at the same time.

The Star Wars mobile game app is meant to keep fans entertained and informed as the new movie release approaches.

Once this mobile app has been downloaded, the user is able to choose from among three different possible themes: Droid, Light Side, and Dark Side. The app runs a countdown to the release of the next Star Wars movie, and has a feed of news relating to the film and the franchise. It also provides users with a library of official videos, sound bites, and images from the animated series and films. The images are apparently of rather poor quality, but users appear to be enjoying the sound board feature.

It is, however, the augmented reality element that is standing out the most in this mobile game app. This is because it allows smartphone and tablet users to project images of characters from the upcoming “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” movie onto the real world around them, when viewed through the device screen. Among the characters that are available include the new BB-8 droid and a stormtrooper. Disney has pointed out that “This app will continue to grow, evolve, and become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”
