Within the 2015 Tokyo Toy Show, at the end of June, Toyota displayed the fourth episode in its Camatte series of exploratory concept vehicles. This year's story was called Hajime (begin) and was a miniature copy of the car design process. It enabled children (and adults) to create their own vehicle concepts on a proper tablet and then drive their designs and themselves around a model town, all in augmented reality. Gizmag went along to experience the Camatte Vision for real.
Playful Journey
At Gizmag, we have been following the playful journey of the Camatteproject for the past 3 years, with its goal of exploring the wonder of automobiles. With each passing year, it has blurred the line between a toy and a Toyota.
The story began in 2012, with three basic body designs, called the Sora, Daichi and Takumi. All of them had large swapable panels on a common electricpowered chassis. This was followed in 2013 by two more designs, called the 57sand 57 sport. Both Of these featured smaller slate panels and produced evenmore body variaTIons, again on a common electric powered drive-able chassis. For2014, in the Camatte Design Lab, all of the front panels were given a coaTIngof LEDs, enabling them to duplicate children's designs, in Both color andshape.
Reawakening the childhood dreams
And for the year's story, the CamatteVision aimed to reawaken the childhood dreams of the parents and shared them with their children. Although the theme was a retro toy car play set, there was only one real Camatte vehicle on the stand at the Toy Show to play with It had off-road style (swapable) bodywork, and sTIll retained the Camatte signature center driving posiTIon with adjustablepedals and a child sized seat. Flanking this were two seats for the parents or instructor to sit close behind and keep an eye on proceedings.
Camatte Hajime specifications
Length: 3,020 mm (119 in) Width: 1,320 mm (52 ​​in) Height: 1,240 mm (49 in)Wheelbase: 1,800 mm (71 in)Seating capacity: 3Powertrain: Electric motor The Creation process
Gizmag was lucky enough to be guided through the creation process by Kota Nezu, one of the main designers on the project and one of the originators of the Camatte concepts. He also has an extensive back catalog of creations from his time at Toyota, as well as havinghis own Design company.
We started the creation process by me sitting in the real car. A photo was then taken with the dedicated tabletand my image was transferred onto a 3D model, again within the tablet.Next, I had a choice of 13 basic body styles, ranging from a firetruck to ahot-dog van and even a limo. And then there was a rainbow pallet of 12 colors tochose from, including white and black.
My own unique vehicle was now designed and then the building magic started. As the tablet was pointed at a white scalemodel of the Camatte, my design was slowly rendered in augmented reality.
After this, we moved to the driving area, a real model toy town. Then, pointing the tablet's camera at the real-world model town, we waited for AR me and my virtual design to appear out of thefactory onscreen and drive down the road For children, they would also see their parents or family sitting in the other two seats.
As the car drove along the road in augmented reality, I could move the tablet in any direction andposition. However, my car was always driving along the road toward the finish area.Although, only my car was shown on my tablet, Kota Nezu explained That other cars driving along could also beshown.
To end the experience and be a lastingreminder of the event, a printed paperkit was given to me, it even had me in the driving seat, but only the new off-road Camatte design was available.
Camatte Vision prove popular
On the public days of the Tokyo Toy Show, the Toyota Camatte Vision proved a popular attraction for both children and adults alike. It was a great way of bringing the design process to the public in a very accessible way. In fact, it is a similar processto The augmented reality that enables adults to see their chosen configuredcar, in a real showroom.
Through the years, Toyota has been steadily making progress on its mission of understanding what children see in cars. So now it feels more able to better designcars for the new generation. Though the Tokyo Toy Show has now ended, this blurring of the lines between a Toy and aToyota can still be experienced at a permanent show at Mega Web inTokyo. Here, children can get into thedriving seat of previous Camatte vehicles for a real hands on experience.
"Whoknows what 2016 will bring to the Camatte Series, as the story is currently being written", said Sumie Teraoka, the project leader. The Camatte Vision will become clearer if you take a look at the video below.

At the Tokyo Toy Fair 2015, at the end of June, Toyota showed the fourth episode of the Kamati series of exploratory concept cars. This year's story is called 肇 (beginning) and is a miniature replica of the car design process. It enables children (and adults) to create their own vehicle concepts on a dedicated tablet, then drive their designs and model cities around themselves, all in augmented reality. Gizmag goes to the real Kamati visual experience.
Fun journey
At Gizmag, we have been following the cam's fun journey in the past 3 years at the atteproject, which explores the goals of the current car. Every year, it has blurred the line between toys and Toyota.
The story of "P" began in 2012, the design of three primitives, called the air, the earth and the sea. They all have large interchangeable boards in a common electricpowered chassis. This is the two designs of 2013, called the 57sand 57 sport. These all produce more body changes for small-sized panels, and in a common electric drive chassis. For2014, in the Kamati Design Lab, all front panels are coated with LEDs, enabling them to repeat the design of children in color and shape. " / P " recalls childhood dreams
"P" and this year's story, this camattevision aims to awaken parents to share the child's childhood dreams. Although the theme is to play with a retro toy car, only one real Kamati vehicle is playing at the Toy Show. Its off-road style (exchangeable) body still retains the driving position of the Kamati Signature Center with adjustable pedals and child seats. This is the parent or teacher's flank sitting behind and monitoring the two seats.
Kamati specifications
Length: 3020 mm (119 inches) Width: 1320 mm (52 ​​inches) Height: 1240 mm (49) Wheelbase: 1800 mm (71 in) Seat: 3 powertrain: Motor creation process
Gizmag had the privilege of being the main designer of the founder of a project. He also has a catalog of creations from his time at Toyota, as well as havinghis his own design company.
We started the process of creating the real car I was sitting on. The photo was then transferred to a 3D model with a dedicated, my image, in the film. Next, I have 13 choices for basic institutional styles, from fire trucks to hot dog cars and even luxury cars. Then there are 12 color rainbow flat trays, including white and black.
My unique vehicle is now starting to build magic. Just as the model of a white Kamati is a tablet, my design is slowly presented in augmented reality.
After that, we moved to the driving area, a real model toy city. Then, pointing out the tablet's camera in the real-world demonstration town, we waited for me and my virtual design to appear on the factory screen and drive. For the children, they will also see their parents or family sitting in the other two seats.
When the car is driving on the augmented reality road, I can move the tablet in any direction and position. However, my car has been driving towards the end zone road. Although, only my car is displayed on my tablet, Yajin explained that other vehicles can also be seen driving.
The end of the experience is a lastingreminder event, the printed paperkit is for me, it even makes me in the driver's seat, only the new off-road Kamati design is feasible.
Kamati visual proof is popular
At the Tokyo Toy Fair Public Day, Toyota Kamati visually proves that popular attractions are like children and adults. It is a good way to design the process in a very convenient way. In fact, it is a similar process to augmented reality that allows people to see their chosen configuredcar in the real showroom. / P 》
For many years, Toyota has been steadily understanding the progress of children's mission to see the car. So now I feel more capable of a new generation of better designcars. Although the Tokyo Toy Fair is over, this fuzzy toy and Toyota word can still showcase the experience permanently in Mega Web Tokyo. Here, children can enter the front of the driver's seat in the Kamati vehicle to experience the real hand.
"Who knows that 2016 will bring to the Kamati series, as the story is being written," said Mojiang Sigang, project leader. The vision of the Kamati If you take a good look at the video below becomes clearer.
