Summary
Focusing on the “future image” of sustainable and resilient development of cities, we will build a future city information infrastructure that operates in a backcast direction starting from a “future image” created/edited/shared by diverse people in a virtual space, and in particular, we will conduct wide-area demonstrations in the southern Shonan region of Kanagawa prefecture in terms of environment and disaster prevention.
By orchestrating urban cyber physical systems, we will effectively utilize the Beyond 5G network, link cyber and physical, operate cooperatively between disparate systems, and create basic technology that generates, distributes, and presents super-resolution information that contributes to human behavior change in real time and adaptively.

Virtual Future City Creation Technology: Integration of 3D city data with various simulation data
本プロジェクトにおける当社の研究開発項目は、仮想未来都市創造技術です。当社はこれを3D都市データや
XR技術を用いて研究開発に取り組んでいます。これらの技術は、デジタルツインやメタバースといったスマー
トシティを実現するための可視化やシミュレーションに主に利用されます。以下に具体例を挙げますが、当社
では3D都市データ、交通量シミュレーション、人流シミュレーション、浸水シミュレーションなどのスマートシティ関連データを活用し、3Dかつ一人称視点（VR：バーチャルリアリティ）で体験可能なプロトタイプの開発に取り組んでいます。
Virtual Future City Creation Technology: City-Scale Mixed Reality (MR) Technology
In addition, we are developing systems using mixed reality (MR: mixed reality) technology to visualize the positive future state “killer verse” of the city and the negative future state “yabberth” in real space. We are also working on research and development of MR systems that go beyond the MR conversion of indoor narrow spaces that have already been realized, target outdoor wide-area spaces, and can also be used not only by walking users, but also by users riding on mobile vehicles.
「仮想未来都市創造技術：3D人流ビジュアライザー技術」
説明：人流データをリアルタイムおよび履歴で可視化する3D人流ビジュアライザーを開発しました。本システムにより、来場者の動きや滞在状況を空間的かつ直感的に把握することが可能になります。
