Designers, crafters and tech-nerds are gearing up for the return of the annual Maker Faire in Tokyo next month.
This is the fifth time the event brings together hundreds of innovative creators, from drone manufacturers and virtual-reality app designers to hobbyists and artists, to share their ideas with the public in Tokyo.
In an interview at last year's event, Dale Dougherty, founder of Maker Media Inc., said he wanted Maker Faires all over the world to be interactive and engaging for attendees.
