Kadinche Layerd: MR Experience Integrated Management System

What is Kadinche Layered

　It is an integrated MR experience management system that can install and edit MR objects from a management PC, and manage condition monitoring etc. for multiple MR goggles and smartphones for MR experiences.
　At Layered, it is possible to display new exhibitions for the next generation, further expand the visitor experience, and display other things that cannot actually be exhibited due to various circumstances, and valuable materials that have been digitally archived.

＜POINT1＞MR object viewing management

[1. MR objects that cannot be placed in the actual exhibition hall can be exhibited]

・Layered can use MR technology to display objects that cannot be installed in an actual exhibition hall and a visitor experience that is more extended than an audio guide.
・The display timing of 3D objects displayed using MR goggles or smartphones can also be adjusted with a management PC, and it is also possible to freely adjust the timing of the actual exhibits.
・Compared to conventional systems where you press a QR code or display number to listen to an audio guide, the system automatically recognizes locations and exhibits in the building, and it is also possible to realize a mechanism where various contents are automatically played back.

[2. Make theater events a richer experience with MR]

・Layered can also be used for content such as theaters and plays.
・It is possible to create MR effects such as characters and confetti floating in a space that matches the play, and it is possible for multiple users to synchronize MR effects.

＜POINT2＞You can easily edit and manage MR objects (management PC side)

・With simple operation using a management PC or management browser, 3D objects can be placed at the desired location.
・You can also freely upload 3D objects for display and 3D models of the museum from the management screen.
・You can manage everything by yourself. Work efficiency is greatly improved without the need for multiple people or external contractors.
・You can edit these operations in-house without ordering them from a contractor. Not only will time and cost be saved, but it will also enable unique and flexible measures.
(If it is necessary to create a 3D model, etc., we can support it. Our expert team will carefully support you.

＜POINT3＞The state of the viewing device can be managed

・Conventionally, it is possible to shorten complicated equipment set-up. Unlike conventional MR content, there is no need to build content for each device (equipment such as MR goggles).
・Each device can be monitored remotely. Since the temperature of MR goggles, battery level, application execution status, etc. can be monitored collectively, the status of each terminal can be monitored without directly checking with a headset, making it easier to respond in the event of a problem.

＜What the system can do＞

[Management screen]
・Upload 3D objects
・Upload a map of the building
・Arrange and edit 3D objects
・HMD state management

＜What is necessary for implementation＞

・PC for management (Windows, Mac)
・VR head-mounted display

What can be achieved with Kadinche Layered

① Theatre/stage version: “For innovative production and multilingual support”

　While watching performing arts and traditional performing arts at the theater, you can enjoy digital productions and explanations that match the performance. For example, when florets dance on the stage, you can display the entire theater by using an MR headset. Also, visual explanations can be added to make it easier to understand what is happening on stage, such as character introductions, synopsis, lyrics, and explanations of art sets and scenes. By supporting subtitles and voice guidance in foreign languages, it is also possible to produce performances that can be enjoyed by inbound and foreign customers while the stage remains in Japanese.

② Museum/Art Museum Edition: “For additional explanations and multilingual support”

　Museums and art galleries are not always able to provide sufficient explanations to customers with various interests and levels of understanding due to space restrictions within the museum. Also, the fact that the area around the exhibit is full of explanatory characters may not be a good experience for visiting the museum. So why not rent out MR headsets to visitors and use visuals and audio from those headsets to provide additional explanations and explanations in foreign languages? By using a transmissive MR headset, it is possible to realize explanations and additional productions that suit each individual's preferences while looking at the exhibits as they are.

③ Stadium/Stadium Edition: “For rich game expression in real time”

　While watching sports such as baseball, etc., you can watch the trajectory of the ball you just hit, real-time game progress, selection instructions, etc. archived on the spot. Also, even in outdoor stadiums where it is difficult to use MR goggles, it is possible to dynamically express and produce real-time game information etc. in the form of layering on sports stadiums by using a smartphone application.
