P.I.C.S. participated as a planner and producer in “NEXT VISION JAPAN 2021 XR LIVE,” a no-audience online live event for the new normal era utilizing XR, held on Tuesday, March 16, 2021. The overall visual direction was handled by Daisuke Hashimoto (P.I.C.S. management). Under the theme of “TRANSFORM,” the live event took on the challenge of creating a new online live experience, making full use of IMAGICA GROUP’s creativity and cutting-edge visual technologies such as XR from three perspectives: 1. space, 2. performers, and 3. communication. A main stage was specially set up in front of the “Geo-Cosmos,” the Earth display made with the world’s first organic EL panels and the symbolic exhibit of Miraikan, the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, the venue for the event. By fusing this with XR visual technology, the production created an unprecedented spatial presentation worthy of the dawn of future entertainment.
