Palabra, the accessibility consulting firm behind the UDCast platform and its UDCast MOVIE app, will take part in the Cabinet Office's Tomotomo Festa 2026 at Tokyo Station's Marunouchi side on October 9 and 10. The company hosts a talk on October 9 with director Koji Fukada, University of Tokyo researcher Naoyuki Okochi, and Palabra president Shoko Yamagami, plus a booth offering subtitle, audio guide, and SABERA smart glasses trials.
Tomotomo Festa runs two days at the Marunouchi exit of Tokyo Station and at the Maru Building's Marucube, free to enter, organized by the Cabinet Office and the Tomotomo Festa 2026 executive committee. Palabra's booth opens October 9 from 13:30 to 19:00 and October 10 from 11:00 to 17:00, where visitors can try subtitle and audio guide playback through UDCast MOVIE and sample subtitles through the SABERA AR glasses from jig.jp and Cellid.
