For the recording of this live performance, we used “Jeanne d’Arc,” a virtual camera system originally developed by KAYAC, linking the motion capture studio with the virtual space. “Jeanne d’Arc” not only allows camerawork in the virtual space as if operating a real camera, by having the cameraman appear there virtually, but also enables shots that can only be achieved in virtual space through a virtual drone camera equipped with multiple systems. In addition, by obtaining the camera coordinates through motion capture, it is possible to link a real camera within the virtual space. By switching between the real and avatar versions of ReoNa, we seamlessly connected the world of “Sword Art Online -Chronicle- Online Edition,” creating a new live production that moves back and forth between reality and virtual space.

VR Projection Mapping "Kizumonogatari VR," developed jointly by Aniplex, Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia, and Kayac, was made available for free on PlayStation™Store. "Kizumonogatari VR" is a VR Projection Mapping content project developed for PlayStation®VR as an extension of the viewing experience. In this content, you look back on the film Kizumonogatari together with the legendary vampire Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade. Beginning in the space of a cram school, this VR experience lets you revisit the film Kizumonogatari alone with Kiss-shot Acerola-orion Heart-under-blade in an enclosed room, offering a bittersweet sensation that feels almost like going on a date. The VR projection mapping presented in "Kizumonogatari VR" is structured around recreating "real space" within "virtual space" as its core concept. At the beginning of the video, it uses realistic projection mapping with an awareness of what can happen in the real world, but as the scene progresses, it incorporates effects that cannot be experienced in reality by projecting the image onto puddles of water, mist, and more.

Since its TV broadcast began in January 2011, “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” has sparked a major boom across many fields and continues to captivate countless fans to this day. To commemorate the 10th anniversary of this work, “Puella Magi Madoka Magica 10 (Exhibition)” was held starting September 22, 2021. From original animation artwork displays and introductions to the production process, to the spatial design of the “Witch’s Barrier” created by the animation artist unit Gekidan Inu Curry, and immersive visual spaces that make you feel as though you’ve wandered into the world of the series, this is an extraordinary exhibition where every detail is unmissable. In the immersive visual space “MADOKA MAGICA Interactive Theater,” where you can relive the hope and despair felt by the magical girls, motion graphics are used to such effect that you’ll feel as though you yourself have slipped into the world of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica.”

This was created as a video format from a Unity project made for VR based on the hugely popular teasing青春 comedy manga *Teasing Master Takagi-san*, which is currently being serialized in Shogakukan’s monthly manga magazine *Gessan* and has surpassed 8.2 million copies in total for the comic series.

Direction and production of scenes in the work. Development of animation, shaders, and more using Unity and Houdini Generation of movie textures through domain warping

Description: The missing parts and reconstruction of the gemstones depicted in the work are expressed through geometric design and animation. By mechanically creating the motion of the gemstones shattering and reassembling, as well as the spiraling animations, using a program, the futuristic, inorganic atmosphere of the work is evoked. Focusing on the trajectory of the Bernoulli spiral equation (r=ae^bθ), the animation of Phos’s fall is created. The design concept is based on equations that form patterns and spirals found in minerals and plants, such as Voronoi division. Like shards of gemstones splitting and forming the next scene, the animation is expressed as a parametric unfolding.
