Toyota Camatte Capsule Trailer
Toyota plans to get children hooked to
the automotive world with a Camatte Capsule trailer, which will be displayed at
the 2016 International Tokyo Toy Show.
Sitting at 3,785 mm long, 1,500
mm wide and 1,845 mm tall, the Camatte Capsule is equipped with
three screens that allows the little ones to visualize how the interior could
look like in their own interpretation.
First, children will have to select from
six color patterns and then choose and position a maximum of 8 out of 24 items
from daily life, such as furniture, appliances or musical instruments. After
the layout has been completed, parents can talk "with their children about
the space (the world) they have designed", as Toyota explains.
The name Camatte comes from a Japanese
word that means "caring for others" and "caring for cars"
and it was previously used by Toyota on other real size vehicles made to look
like toys, such as the Camatte Sora, shown in 2012, Camatte 57s, displayed a
year later, and the Camatte Hajime, which was showcased in 2015. These will
join the new capsule trailer at this year's Tokyo event, which will open its
gates from June 9 for the Buyers' days and on June 11 for the public.
