It will be the first service of its kind in Japan, allowing anyone to enjoy taking and viewing videos from an aerial perspective that is usually out of reach. When a customer scans the installed QR code with their smartphone and makes a payment, the drone takes off and automatically films the beautiful scenery from the sky and the customer along an optimal route that has been programmed in advance.
The images captured by the drone are automatically edited by AI to deliver high-quality, high-impact images to the customer. There is no need to download an app, and the service is available in multiple languages*2, making it easy for overseas customers to use.
The use of automated unmanned aerial photography by drones will make it possible to communicate the rich seasonal charms of Japan’s tourist attractions throughout the country. This will also minimize the burden on tourism operators and enable them to disseminate information to the international community.
