Vision of MIRAIRE
「STREET * xReality」
A hero you’ve always loved appears in ordinary everyday life, discover rare monsters while taking a morning walk, compete in fitness with perfect men who came out of a comic, and enjoy solving mysteries with a famous detective.
In the world we create, the real world (STREET) and the internet society are seamlessly integrated with each other by xR (X Reality: cross reality) technology.
While MIRAIRE will continue to publish applications for smartphones, we plan to also actively provide content for xR(X Reality: Cross Reality) devices such as Hololens, MagicLeap, and VR.
MIRAIRE uses xR (X Reality) technology to transform the real world (STREET) into a more fun, walkable world worth exploring.
What is xR (cross reality)?
It is an experience through technology that combines a virtual environment with a real-world setting. Here, “X” can be seen as a placeholder for V(R), A(R), and M(R), but it also represents an undefined or variable quality/quantity. xR encompasses hardware, software, methods, and experiences that enable virtual reality, mixed reality, augmented reality, cinematic reality, and other forms of reality. Most definitions of xR include a platform and content that allows the user to bring digital objects into the real world or, conversely, to view physical objects in a digital scene.
The xR experience includes the experience of bringing digital objects into the physical world and bringing objects from the physical world into the digital space, creating a new form of reality for the user.
The term “xR” has become common as a generic term and is frequently used as a casual shorthand for grouping technologies such as VR, AR, and MR. (Display: https://unity3d.com/jp/what-is-xr-glossary）
