Thinking about the possibilities of urban development through entertainment

Dynamic performance using the latest technology

The first half of the event took place in Mitsubishi Jisho Design Jisho Sekkei Head Office studio, which is usually used for meetings and events, and featured an AR dance live performance featuring dynamic AR effects using "real-time motion capture," which uses sensors attached to Kento Mori's entire body to detect the depth of space and specific body movements and generate AR effects on the spot. Kento Mori delivered a first-class dance performance that was in line with the standards of some of the world's most renowned top artists.
In the second half of the event, Kazu and Kento Mori engaged in a dialogue based on questions collected from our employees. They discussed the possibilities of creating a "city that everyone can be excited about" and the prospects for tolerant architecture that will serve as a place to accept and nurture the expressions of diverse people, reaffirming the importance of players with diverse perspectives working together across boundaries to create a truly prosperous society.

"SMAHOLODEO" ^Ⓡ- A desktop tool that puts smartphone information into the air

The potential of mixed reality (MR) technology, which blends reality and virtual reality, is expanding in the field of Architectural Design. It allows virtual buildings to appear before your eyes, making invisible heat and air visible and allowing you to manipulate them interactively. This technology is also attracting attention as a communication tool that enables the sharing of three-dimensional, intuitive images.
In 2020, Mitsubishi Jisho Design 's R&D Promotion Department began developing simple tools to make mixed reality more accessible. The first of these is "SMAHOLODEO." This desktop tool levitates smartphone display information, allowing figures and CG to appear in three dimensions and convey performances and messages. Made of paper, it is easy to assemble and portable. It can be freely designed to match the video content and can also be used for presentations and as a novelty item (Patent No. 6656460 / Design No. 1664201).
