Project NEST

Project NEST (NEC Experimental Social Transit) is an Entertainment Technology Center project sponsored by NEC in Osaka, Japan. Project NEST aims to create an interactive experience of city life thirty years in the future. In our futuristic city each citizen will have their own personal means of transportation. These personal transit vehicles hover just above the surface of the group and can take you anywhere you wish to go. If you need a ride or cannot drive, simply link your vehicle with a friend and hitch a ride. Project NEST combines the convenience of compact cars with the efficiency of a metro subway network. This immersive first person experience will explore the boundary between technology and social life and help people visualize what the future could be.
