Tokyo, March 4, 2019 - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) today announced its participation in South By Southwest (SXSW), one of the world's largest events dedicated to the interactive, film and music industries, from March 8-17, 2019 in Austin, Texas.

From March 10-13, NEC will host an innovative exhibit, 'CODE,' that converts the unique biometric information obtained from the iris of a person's eye into graphic patterns. The expression of these patterns is different for each person, and represents the individuality and diversity that people naturally possess, as well as the beauty of these differences and the potential of biological information.
