Meta Heroes Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Kazutoshi Matsuishi; hereinafter referred to as 'the Company') will host an event titled 'International Exchange: Guatemala Day' on Sunday, May 24, 2026, at 'Hero Egg,' a DX education facility located in Namba Parks, Osaka. The event will utilize VR technology to explore the culture of Guatemala in Central America.
The workshop is designed to stimulate all five senses, inviting a student from Guatemala as an instructor to directly learn about traditional culture. Participants can also embark on a 360-degree adventure using VR goggles to famous sites like the Mayan ruins of Tikal and volcanoes.
### Knowledge Alone Is Not Enough. How to Convey the 'Reality' of the Other Side of the World.
As globalization progresses, understanding different cultures is essential. However, it is not easy to grasp the cultures of physically distant regions like Central and South America as 'personal matters' solely through textbooks or videos. Especially for children, there was a challenge in sustaining interest in learning without real-world experiences.
### 'VR x Dialogue' to Bring Distance to Zero. Providing Surprise and Discovery Beyond Language Barriers.
Our company is confident that XR (metaverse/VR) technology is a tool that can break down physical distance and economic barriers. In this event, we will combine 'pseudo-travel through VR' with 'dialogue with people from the local region' to maximize intellectual curiosity.
- Immerse with five senses: Instantly transport to the top of Mayan ruins or vibrant cityscapes with VR goggles.
- Eliminate 'not understanding': Japanese-speaking staff will be on-site, ensuring comfortable participation even for those not proficient in English.
- Everyone is the protagonist: Designed for all ages, from children to adults, including seated experiences considerate of VR sickness.
