| Childhood Dream | I wanted to be an artist who could create shared experiences for many people through the works I created, such as music, videos, and games. |
| Influential People, Things, and Events | Person: Kevin Shields (created an original, avant-garde music scene with multi-layered, delicate sound creation) Thing: PalmPilot (introduced to the world an experience that beautifully combined humans and computing) Event: Streaming technology (moved from ownership of physical media to experience; revolutionized content distribution) |
| Motivation, Goals, and Ideal World | In the past few years, the digital content market has grown rapidly into a 50 trillion yen industry. Among these, the world of video and games, which has seen particularly rapid growth, is largely made up of 3D content. However, we noticed that the information transmission of such 3D content is still done on 2D displays. If the video devices that carry out this information communication were 3D, it would be possible to transmit the video in 3D without degrading the 3D information to 2D. By doing so, it may become possible to achieve advanced communication that has not been possible until now in many fields such as work that handles 3D information (medical, construction, manufacturing, design), entertainment, and art. We are promoting our business with this idea in mind. Most recently, we are creating experiences where 3D content from a virtual space appears in real space, proposing a digital art format with volume, and a project to recreate digital archives in space, and we are making previously unthinkable digital communication experiences one by one. |
