The AR game “Overbeast,” powered by VERIZON’s 5G network, launched in the U.S. in spring 2023. WOW was responsible for the character design, modeling, and animation of the beasts featured in the game. By leveraging 5G pixel streaming, the project aimed to deliver a grander, more vivid visual experience than had previously been possible with AR. Based on the concept of “kings of each animal kingdom with special abilities,” the beasts were designed in both juvenile and adult forms. Various simulations were used to emphasize each creature’s individuality, bringing them to life as dynamic beings. In addition, while the animation speed was slowed down to make the beasts feel massive, battle actions were made quick, creating a sense of both realistic scale and unreal speed to heighten immersion and realism in the game world.

Otamiramuz was responsible for the animated portion of the concept movie for the “MUJI x UR Danchi Renovation Project,” which was launched in June 2012 through a collaboration between UR Urban Renaissance Agency and MUJI HOUSE (Ryohin Keikaku), with the aim of presenting a new standard for rental renovation suited to the diverse lifestyles of modern Japan. In the concept movie, the main themes of this initiative are: - Danchi unit renovation - Whole-building renovation - Community renovation These themes are each expressed through simple line-drawing visuals. Based on communication with customers through columns and other content on the web, this project takes on renovation under the concept of “not demolishing too much, and not building too much,” while making use of the good history that danchi have, so that many people can continue to live comfortably there for a long time to come.
