Smartphones detecting bad breath and radiation, twistable remote controls and a super-thin tablet computer were just some of the gadgets showcased at Asia’s biggest tech fair in Japan today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Around 600 firms unveiled their innovations at the Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies (Ceatec) technology exhibition in Chiba, near Tokyo, which is expected to draw 200,000 visitors during its five-day run<\/strong>, organizers said.<\/p>\n

Japan’s Toshiba showcased what it calls “the world’s thinnest and lightest” tablet computer<\/strong>, equipped with a 10.1-inch display that is just 7.7 millimetres (0.3-inch) thick and weighs 558 grammes (19.5 ounces).<\/p>\n

Electronics parts maker Murata Manufacturing unveiled devices using a newly-developed transparent organic film that can deliver instructions via twisting motions or pressure.<\/p>\n

One of the devices, a conceptual light-powered plate named Leaf Grip Remote Controller, has no buttons and instead operates by the user bending and twisting it.<\/p>\n

Another application of the film is as a touch panel.<\/strong> The “touch pressure pad” responds to finger swipes in the left-right and up-down directions and can also sense how strongly it is pressed, unlike the conventional touchscreen glass used on smartphones.<\/p>\n

Japanese telecom giant NTT DoCoMo will showcase a smartphone with changeable “jackets” that measure bad breath, body fat and even radiation levels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DoCoMo has developed a technology that allows users to measure their own body readings <\/strong>or their surroundings by slipping their smartphones inside sensor-embedded shells.<\/p>\n

State-of-the-art radiation counters were also on display <\/strong>at the fair along with power-saving technologies, after parts of the country saw drives to cut peak summer power consumption.<\/p>\n
