AUGMENTED SITUATION D: The Dream of Roaming Cities powered by PLATEAU
In collaboration with local artists, architects, musicians and residents, “AUGMENTED SITUATION D” will feature XR content tailored to each city’s unique characteristics. Participants will explore the city while experiencing XR art, allowing them to rediscover the charm of each location while engaging with its culture and industries. Additionally, AR-based navigation and 3D area maps will connect artwork across each venue, offering a visually engaging guide. This creates a unique cross-city experience for all participants.
The initiative also offers “Dreams of the City” workshops so local residents can participate in the event and showcase their work on STYLY Mobile, a mobile app designed for viewing XR creations on smartphones. These interactive AR workshops offer attendees the chance to see floating logos, reminiscent of Japan’s traditional festivals, creating a collective atmosphere throughout the city.
Following the success of AUGMENTED SITUATION D’s first two exhibitions held in Tokyo in 2023, the initiative was subsequently expanded to select cities nationwide. AUGMENTED SITUATION D was awarded the Creative Design Award at the JAPAN Metaverse Awards 2024 in September 2024.
