AlphaDrive Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagatacho, Chiyoda-ku; Representative Director and CEO: Yoichi Aso; hereinafter "AD"), Pixie Dust Technologies, Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and Chairman: Yoichi Ochiai; Representative Director and President: Taiichiro Murakami; hereinafter "PxDT"), and Taiga Global Inc. (Headquarters: Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea; hereinafter "TG") have begun joint product development of a new indoor greening solution. This solution incorporates PxDT's sound-absorbing module "iwasemi OC-β" into TG's spatial greening solutions, providing sound absorption specifically targeted at conversational frequency bands.
In this initiative, the three companies aim to develop a next-generation spatial solution that simultaneously realizes the "visual healing" of traditional green spaces and "auditory comfort." This is achieved by combining the low-maintenance natural greening solution utilizing moss from TG—for which AD serves as the core for domestic demonstration, sales, and full-scale deployment—with PxDT's built-in sound-absorbing module "iwasemi OC-β."
Addressing the Needs for New Well-being Spaces through Spatial Greening and Sound Absorption
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in creating spaces conscious of well-being across various environments such as offices, commercial facilities, and public institutions.
On the other hand, in offices and public spaces, there are persistent challenges related to the acoustic environment, such as decreased concentration due to conversation echoes and ambient noise, as well as the need to ensure privacy. Furthermore, even if natural greening is desired, issues like maintenance costs and load-bearing capacities often hinder the implementation of indoor greening.
By combining PxDT's built-in sound-absorbing module "iwasemi OC-β" with TG's low-maintenance natural greening solution, the three companies aim to provide an unprecedented spatial experience where the healing power of greenery and silence resonate together.
AlphaDrive to Handle Demonstration and Business Development of Jointly Developed Products
In this joint development, TG is responsible for developing and providing the technology for spatial greening solutions using moss, while PxDT provides the sound-absorbing module "iwasemi OC-β" utilizing the acoustic metamaterial technology "iwasemi." AD is in charge of demonstrations, business development, and product sales with an eye on expanding into the Japanese market, and will proceed with implementing the solution in a form suitable for Japanese office environments and spatial needs.
About the Applied Technology "iwasemi OC-β" Provided by PxDT
iwasemi OC-β is a sound-absorbing module that applies acoustic metamaterial technology to suppress sound reverberation by focusing on the core frequency band of human conversation (500 to 1000 Hz). By enhancing not only sound absorption performance but also the flexibility of design, materials, and installation, it shifts the positioning of sound absorption from an "affixed" countermeasure to a "built-in" design.
