Impress Corporation, which develops IT-related media businesses within the Impress Group, has announced the exhibitors and sponsors for the 'Hamamatsu Micro Maker Faire 2026,' scheduled for July 4, 2026.

Maker Faire is a showcase event for 'makers' who utilize new technologies and materials to create things they personally desire. Since its first event in San Francisco in 2006, it has expanded to over 200 cities worldwide.

Micro Maker Faire is a smaller, community-focused version that retains the essence of the original. Celebrating its 6th year, the upcoming Hamamatsu event will feature numerous exhibits highlighting the city's unique characteristics, such as music-related technology. Attendees can experience a wide variety of works—from electronics and robotics to crafts and art—and interact directly with the creators.

Featured exhibits include: - Human-powered 3D Imaging (Higekita): An anaglyph 3D experience using a planetarium dome. - Tea-brewing Machine (Tetsuya Monna): Proposes tea-brewing as entertainment. - AI Modular Synth / ARISE / New touch:waves (R-MONO Lab): Includes AI-supported drum pattern sequencing and interactive music apps. - Eye-care Product Development (Aki Ishikawa): Prototypes of devices designed to naturally encourage breaks during computer work. - Modified Plotter (Yara:Makers): An interactive work using custom software to control a pen plotter. - Microscopic 3D Time-lapse System (Mokumoku Camera Laboratory): A custom device combining a microscope and Raspberry Pi to record 3D time-lapses of tiny worlds.
