On September 6, 2026, Kadinche Co., Ltd. conducted a field test of an experiential MR exhibition guide system using MR smart glasses at the MMoP (Museum of Photography, Miyota) in Miyota-machi, Kitasaku-gun, Nagano Prefecture. This experiment took place during the "Asama International Photo Festival 2026 PHOTO MIYOTA," which is currently being held at the museum.

This system was built by combining our MR experience management system, "Kadinche Layerd®︎," with the "MiRZA®" smart glasses. This marks our second such initiative, following a field test conducted in November 2025 at the Kan Yasuda Sculpture Museum Arte Piazza Bibai. This time, we developed a next-generation audio guide that displays descriptions (captions) for the exhibited photographic works using MR.

In this field test, we focused on two-dimensional photographic works. When a visitor stands in front of a piece, the title and caption appear overlaid around the artwork through the smart glasses. Unlike traditional audio guides, this system allows visitors to receive information without taking their eyes off the artwork, and it provides commentary without the need to add physical captions or QR codes to the gallery walls.

While our previous test at Arte Piazza Bibai focused on three-dimensional sculptures, this experiment allowed us to verify the accuracy of position recognition and other factors within an indoor museum space, catering to the diverse audience of the Asama International Photo Festival.

About Kadinche Layerd®︎

"Kadinche Layerd®︎" is an integrated MR experience management system that allows users to create, distribute, and manage MR content for devices like smart glasses directly from a web browser. Our goal is to enable curators and facility staff to manage MR exhibition guides and other experiences without requiring specialized development knowledge.
