In addition, HIKKY, JR East, and jeki (East Japan Marketing & Communications Inc.) announced that they had signed a business alliance agreement in the XR (spatial expansion technology) area centered on stations and vehicles. Through this business alliance, the three companies will collaborate to create new experience value that combines natural and digital, which JR East promotes as the “Beyond Stations concept.” And as part of that, “Virtual Akihabara Station” will be exhibited at “Virtual Market 6”.
This station is positioned as the entrance to “Virtual Market 6”. The contents of the animation “Evangelion” and VTuber Group Holo Live welcome visitors from Japan and overseas, pass through the ticket gates like a natural station and get on the train. You can go around the VR world.
The world’s largest VR event, “Virtual Market.”
“Virtual Market” is the world’s largest VR event hosted by HIKKY. At the previous “Virtual Market 5”, 73 companies/artists and more than 1100 general circles were exhibited.
The number of visitors exceeded about 1 million. In July, it was recognized by the Guinness World Records as the most significant number of booths at virtual reality market events. Exhibitors can buy and sell various 3D items and real-world products (clothes, PCs, etc.) in virtual space, and anyone can participate from VR devices, PCs, and smartphones. Since it is operated 24 hours a day during the period, visitors from home and abroad gather.
In the latest “Virtual Market 6”, various faces such as LDH JAPAN, Tokyo University of the Arts, BEAMS, and Tokyo Marui are lined up. Each will exhibit multiple contents such as mini-lives, art exhibitions, virtual holdings of natural events, and survival games in virtual space.
