Play DJ and VJ at the same time

　At the presentation venue on the 15th, Mr. Masane Muto, the representative of "with Als," appearing information about ALS and aiming to support ALS patients.Immediately after the announcement of "JINS MEME" about a year ago, Mr. Muto, who also developed ALS, visited JINS flagship stores about the possibility.From there, the development of "Jine Meme Bridge" has started.

　Developed for Mr. Muto is the app that can be played as a DJ and VJ with the mechanism of "Jine Meme Bridge".It was developed in cooperation by Jeui Eien, Muto Muto, and Shunichi Yamamoto of Yamamoto Works.I created an operation to return to the previous screen.

　Not only the app development, but also a small gaze movement is captured as a signal and leads to the operation, so he has been working hard in the last few months so that Mr. Muto himself can operate accurately.I didn't think it was so difficult. "In September, I tried to show DJ/VJ play at a music festival in Shibuya in September, but due to Muto's tension, the movement of the eyeball was affected and I could not hear the sound for 30 minutes.The condition continued.After feeling calm down, he was able to play, but at a briefing for news -related companies on the 15th, he operated the DJ/VJ app smoothly without delay.

　Mr. Muto said, "More than 9,400 ALS patients in Japan are fighting ALS, which has no established treatment. It is said that it can be moved to the end, but it is already a computer.I want to use JINS MEME to convey emotions and expressions to you. "Emphasize the significance of being able to control.
