The surgeon, Dr. David uses the surgical microscope system "ORBEYE" and does an operation while watching a large monitor.
A few assistants are beside him.
The monitor is showing a brain-like thing.
One of the members, who are standing by the wall, adjusts the position of his/her 3D glasses and watches the operation via the monitor.
Dr. David does this operation while sitting. At the same time, he freely moves the position of ORBEYE's microscope tube.
A plastic sheet is covering ORBEYE's arm and the periphery of the microscope tube.
The lighting lenses on the microscope tube light up.
Dr. David and the team are doing the operation.
The two lighting lenses light up. Dr. David does the operation while his face being right close to the microscope tube.
Dr. David does the operation.

It shows a scene of a doctor doing an operation while looking into the eyepiece of a microscope.
In a room surrounded by frosted glass walls.
A man in a black jacket sits in a sofa and is interviewed.
Ueda speaks.
Ueda touches the back of his neck.
The close-up of the microscope tube installed at the end of ORBEYE's arm.
The whole image of ORBEYE on display is shown.
In a room surrounded by frosted glass walls.
A man wearing glasses and a jacket sits in a sofa and is interviewed.
Nozawa speaks.
Ueda speaks.
A 4K photo taken by a Sony α9 camera.
It is a natural scene covered with snow.
The icicles and moss-like shapes of the snow are shown clearly up to details.
Another 4K photo taken by a Sony α7RⅢ camera.
It is a view of mountain ranges.
Spots of snow on the side of the farthest mountain can be recognized.
Pale pink clouds are wafting along in the light blue sky.
The photo even captures the mist on the surface of a lake.
The scene changes to another image.
In an operation room.
A surgeon in surgical clothing reaches his/her gloved hands to a microscope tube and changes its position.
A plastic sheet is covering the periphery of the microscope tube.
The surgeon does an operation in front of the microscope tube.
In a room surrounded by frosted glass walls.

Taguchi speaks
The scene changes to another image.
In an operation room.
A surgeon in surgical clothing raises his/her gloved hand in front of his/her chest.
An assistant is helping the surgeon to wear 3D glasses.
Nozawa speaks.
An image that ORBEYE's objective lens captures is shown on a monitor.
An image of a human-tissue-like thing is clearly shown on the monitor.

In a room.
On a screen, an illustration that explains ORBEYE is projected.
Nozawa, Taguchi, and others are discussing.
A man rotates and adjusts ORBEYE's microscope tube.
An illustration comparing the size of ORBEYE with a conventional microscope.
It shows that ORBEYE has a simple design and significantly reduced size compared with the conventional microscope.

In a room surrounded by frosted glass walls.
A man in a gray shirt sits in a sofa and is interviewed.
Fukaya speaks.
An image that illustrates how ORBEYE works.
First, each of the left and right images of the object passes through an "Objective lens", and two "Zoom lenses" and one "Imaging lens" which are placed for left and right respectively. Then, it is captured on each "CMOS sensor" and converted into electrical signal for "image processing" respectively.
Finally, the captured images are shown on a large monitor in 3D.
Thus, people can see internal organs through a monitor, instead of looking into an eyepiece of conventional surgical microscope.
Ueda speaks.
An illustration comparing the size of ORBEYE with a conventional model of a whole microscope system.
It shows that the ORBEYE's arm and microscope tube has a simple design and reduced size compared with the conventional microscope. The size of ORBEYE's system part lower than the arm part is approximately halved.

A woman in surgical clothing holds the handle of ORBEYE and moves it smoothly.
Another woman packs the arm part with a plastic sheet.

Ueda speaks.
Nozawa, Taguchi, and Fukaya move the black miniature models of machines and human figures on the table over and over as they talk.
Nozawa speaks.
Fukaya wearing 3D glasses moves ORBEYE's microscope tube.
Below the microscope tube, there is a human head model exposing about half of its brain.
The monitor is showing a human-tissue-like thing.
As Fukaya's hand moves the microscope tube, the monitor gradually shows a closer view of the human-tissue-like thing.
