TEDxTokyo 2010, held on May 15th at the Kagaku Mirai-kan in Odaiba, featured performances and presentations by a wide variety of global innovators including Musician and Composer Jake Shimabukuro, Filmmaker Jin Tatsumura, Brain Scientist Ken Mogi as well as Techno-Illusionist Marco Tempest.

Empire Entertainment japan is proud to have supported TEDxTokyo 2010 through production of the debut performance of Marco Tempest's Magic projection, and through helping to secure Symantec Corporation as a Core Partner of TEDxTokyo.

Marco Tempest's performance of Magic Projection leveraged the latest application on augmented reality and projection mapping techniques in a perfect fusion of entertainment and technology.  One website's review states, "When the robots come to enslave us, Marco will be the only man we can trust to negotiate a truce."

TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's "ideas worth spreading" mission, with TEDx events planned and coordinated independently on a local basis.  The concept has gone viral, and events in more than 60 countries, and a vast number of cities and communities have already been held or are in formative states.  The goal is to spark deep discussions and connection in groups both intimate and expansive.  If you would like to find out more about the TEDxTokyo please visit www.tedxtokyo.com
