KDDI Develops Pirated-Video-Detecting Software

KDDI research labs in Japan has developed a new system for detecting pirated material on the internet automagically. By detecting whether the footage was shot on an amateur or professional camera, what method was used to encode it, and things of that nature, they claim they can detect illegal material with a 98% success rate.…

Intra-Body Communication: Use Your Body to Download Data

Imagine being able to download a movie or album to your media player by simply touching a promotional poster or exchanging contact information with a potential client via a handshake. KDDI’s new Intra-Body Communication technology could make this a reality by using the human body as a conduit to transmit high-volume data. In the image…

The KDDI Design Center’s Futuristic Concept Phones and Less Impressive Regular Phones

In Harajuku, near the bridge that all the socially awkward cosplay teenagers hang out on on Sundays, is the KDDI Design Center, a temple dedicated to Japanese phones. Inside they’ve got all of this year’s KDDI phone models, a display on futuristic phone concepts, and every phone offered by the Japanese carrier on display for…

ActFace Concept Cell Has Looks, 3 Touchscreens

This is the ActFace Japanese cell phone concept from au by KDDI. It laughs in the face of the iPhone and its single touchscreen – with not one, not two, but three, and no visible traditional buttons. There’s a video of the two front screens showing some impressive animation after the jump. https://gizmodo.com/au-phones-media-skin-machina-hexagon-139091 Although it…

KDDI Comes to the US [Verdict: Keep Your Wigs On]

Yes, KDDI Mobile is coming to the US. And no, they won’t be bringing any of their cool phones with them. https://gizmodo.com/japan-watch-media-skin-cellphone-229130 They will operate as a virtual operator using Sprint’s CDMA network, but they will only cater to Japanese- speaking people over here. I don’t know if this will significantly expand their existing 28.2-million…

Cypres Concept: Pretty non-iPhone

By designer Nao Tamura, this concept phone may not sound clear, but it certainly pulls off the theme. We like the retro undertones, from the 90’s transparent shell, to the 60s lunar terrain imaging of the product’s backside. But maybe you think it’s ugly as sin… Design Page [via yanko] Designer Page

Japan Watch: Media Skin Cellphone

Remember that hot Media Skin cellphone we saw nearly two years ago from Tokujin Yoshioka design? It’s about to be released on KDDI and not NTT DoCoMo, which to most Americans means absolutely nothing. https://gizmodo.com/au-phones-media-skin-machina-hexagon-139091 The Media Skin, however, comes in black, orange, and white, has a QVGA screen, and some various other features we…

Touching Dozens of Beautiful Japanese Cellphones

I’m in Tokyo, and I’ve been avoiding gadgets. After all, I’m supposed to be on vacation. But today Lisa took me to Akiba, and I ended up running through a dozen stores, groping over 50 handsets. I’ve written about some, like the incredibly simple Wilcom R9, glowing Sony Ericsson w43s and walkman-like w42s. But gripping…

The KDDI “neon” Phone

I’m still reeling from this KDDI phone by Naoto Fukasawa (the latest in the au design project series). The English version of the flash site has not been added, so I’m hoping one of our Japanese-speaking readers can supply more accurate details in a few hours. From what I can tell, this has an organic…

KDDI’s Phones Look Better Than Yours

It’s not like KDDI’s got anything to prove when it comes to its phone design cred, what after models like the Penck and the Talby, but they went all “pshaw” after seeing DoCoMo’s attempt earlier today at a design handset and dropped the W32H for its WIN EV-DO network, a phone probably best described as…
