What is TRICK PRINT®?
TRICK PRINT® is an innovative inkjet printing technology that combines magic tricks and printing.
The TRICK PRINT® series is based on the basic requirement of full-color variable visual printing triggered by a certain energy. The triggers for change and the variable phenomena are different for each. In addition, TRICK PRINT® is a reversible printing technology that maintains interactivity (bi-directionality) and can repeat its function when the user intentionally takes action to trigger the variable phenomenon.
What is TRICK PRINT® used for?
It is easy to understand if you imagine "AR" technology as a benchmark.
What is "AR"? (Augmented Reality )
It is an entertainment technology that digitally creates a virtual world in the real world by combining actual images and video with CG.
What is TRICK PRINT®?
TRICK PRINT® is an entertainment technology that creates a simulated trick experience in the real world by combining analog paper media with gimmicks.
AR, VR, and MR are all technologies that allow you to digitally experience the virtual world, but the content of each experience is different.
TR
| Trick Reality |
A technology that combines magic and printing to achieve a state of pseudo-reproduction on analog paper.
AR
| Augmented Reality |
The state in which digital objects exist in the real world and the technology to realize it.
VR
| Virtual Reality |
Technology that allows you to experience the virtual world as if you were actually in it.
MR
| Mixed Reality |
Technology that can actually manipulate content pulled into the real world.
The same can be said for all AR, VR, and MR: the richer the content, the higher the budget tends to be.
"AR" is a hot technology that is on the rise and will make life more fun and convenient by creating augmented reality.
TR is an interactive information transmission tool just like AR
It is often said that one of the challenges of AR is the long total time required to experience it.
"AR" tends to be more successful when it is aimed at core fans than when it is aimed at a universal audience. This is because the barriers to success include the download of dedicated applications, communication environment, and data usage fees.
On the other hand, although the amount of information conveyed is less than digital, "TR" has the immediacy that only analog can provide, making it ideal for all audiences. This is because you can get an immediate and interactive response.
What is the immediacy of analog?
Time required to experience TR
Time required to experience AR
Time required to experience VR.
- ・The point is to make the hassle-free uncle want to try it.
- ・The point is that elderly people who are not good at new things will want to try them.
- ・The point is to make sure that children who don't have mobile devices want to try it.
TR" is a printing technology that creates fun like a magic trick, but it is important to link it to solutions that solve problems, not just to provide fun. I believe that it is important for both AR and TR to shift from "great because it is a technology I have never seen before" to "great because it is an experience like this" and "great because it solves a problem like this.
What is the value of TRICK PRINT®?
TRICK PRINT® can be used to create a "curiosity trap" in which the paper changes like a magic trick to the information you want to convey, making it fun and interesting. Trick like magic tricks can create the effects of "fun", "curiosity" and "unexpectedness". We are committed to guiding you to the desired information transmission with the three effects obtained by the magic trick element.
3 effects that can be obtained with magic elements
Showbiz (fun)
Quizziness (curiosity)
Unexpectedness (eye catching)
