Akihabara News (Tokyo) — Odakyu Electric Railway is this week opening a facility near Shinjuku Station called Neuu, which will promote XR, a combination of virtual and augmented reality technologies.
This “XR Communication Hub,” located near the major train station’s West Exit, will be divided into three zones: the Experience Space, the Workspace, and the Showroom.
The Experience Space, which contains four seats in total, will allow visitors to experience several kinds of XR content. There will be several variations available, and these are expected to be refreshed about four times per year.
The Workspace will include 36 seats for co-working, based on an hourly fee. The VR Professional Academy will be held on weekends with the objective of nurturing the next generation of XR creators.
The Showroom will contain exhibits of the latest XR hardware and services, allowing visitors a hands-on experience.
Odakyu is offering Neuu in part to consider how the firm might utilize XR technologies on its railway lines or to promote tourist venues in the future.
