Thinking about the possibilities of urban development through entertainment

Dynamic performance using the latest technology

In the first half of the event, Mitsubishi Jisho Design Head Office Studio, which is usually used for meetings and events, was used as the stage for an AR dance live performance using dynamic AR productions using "real-time motion capture" that generates AR effects on the spot based on sensors attached to KENTO MORI's entire body, sensing the depth of the space and specific body movements. The world's top artists presented a first-class dance performance that was in demand.
In the second half of the event, KAZU and KENTO MORI held a talk session based on questions submitted by our employees. They discussed the possibilities of creating a "town that everyone can be excited about" and the prospects for tolerant architecture that will be a place to accept and nurture the expressions of diverse people, and the importance of players with various 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 MR (Mixed Reality) technology, which fuses reality and virtuality, is expanding in the field of Architectural Design. It allows virtual architecture to appear before your eyes, visualize invisible heat and air, and handle them interactively. This technology is also attracting attention as a communication tool that allows for the sharing of three-dimensional, intuitive images.
Mitsubishi Jisho Design began developing simple tools to make MR more accessible in 2020 through its R&D Promotion Department. The first of these is "SMAHOLODEO". It is a desktop tool that makes smartphone display information float in the air, and figures and CG appear in three dimensions to convey performances and messages. It is made of paper, is easy to assemble, and easy to carry. It can be freely designed to match the video content, and can also be used for presentations and novelties (Patent No. 6656460 / Design No. 1664201).
