TOKYOApril 18 (News On Japan) – Odakyu Electric Railway has launched an experimental demonstration using XR technology on the newly installed “Shinjuku Southern Terrace Vision” large screen near the south exit of JR Shinjuku Station.
In collaboration with electric car giant Tesla, the display showed a 30-second three-dimensional video of three large Tesla models, including the ‘Cybertruck’, in motion. By scanning a QR code in the video with a smartphone, viewers can see the Cybertruck appear in their browser, where it can be controlled like a remote-controlled car or viewed from the perspective of the driver’s seat.
Senior Manager Makoto Uchiyama of Odakyu Agency, who is in charge of the experiment, said: โBy integrating XR technology with different elements, new value is created. We want to continue to demonstrate this with various partners.โ The 3D video will be shown 20 times an hour from 10am to 5pm and the experiment will run until the end of the month.
