3D Projection Mapping Model for Visualizing Complex Earth Science and Disaster Information

We use 3D projection mapping technology to recreate disaster information such as floods and tsunamis in three dimensions, contributing to disaster prevention education and urban planning. By intuitively conveying complex geoscience, we are currently introducing this technology to museums, municipalities, and schools. Furthermore, by combining it with XR, we visualize potential risks. This visualization technology advances the societal implementation of geoscience.

Ryugukoku – Creating another side of Japan

On the unprecedented gaming platform “Ryugukoku,” we are creating another version of Japan — a place where creators, users, corporates, and local municipalities can all take part, while enjoying competition between different “Nations.” We will then connect the creator economy of Ryugukoku with the real-world economy, building a vast and integrated economic sphere.

“OPTITE”: A Transparent, High-Refractive-Index Nanoparticle for Optical Resins

We are developing a high-performance nanoparticle material called OPTITE: a nanofiller that enables both high transparency and enhanced refractive index when mixed with optical resins. Leveraging these properties, we aim to apply it to polymer waveguide materials for optoelectronic integration technologies, as well as to optical clear adhesives.

Support solution for people vulnerable to heatstroke using highly sensitive wearable sweat sensors

Decreased sweating occurs due to diseases, disorders, aging, lack of exercise, dehydration, etc. People who suffer from these conditions are called ``heatstroke susceptible''. As emergency transportation due to heatstroke has become a social issue, our company aims to develop a wearable device that uses sweat measurement principles used in medical settings and realize a solution that provides support information to people who are vulnerable to heatstroke.
