From 'Preserving' Photos to 'Experiencing' Memories: Caratt Inc. and OpenHeart Inc. Collaborate on 3D Photo Service

Caratt Inc. (Headquarters: Kashiba City, Nara Prefecture, President: Takayuki Okuno) and OpenHeart Inc. (Headquarters: Minato Ward, Tokyo, President: Koji Watanabe, hereinafter OpenHeart), which develops the 3D platform "TAVIO," will begin a collaboration aimed at preserving family anniversaries in a new form.

As the first initiative of this collaboration, a "3D Family Photo Experience" using the 3D photography system "TAVIO 3D" will be offered at the Studio Caratt Arrio Nishi-Arai store, which will reopen after renovations on July 13, 2026 (Mon).

This initiative is a new attempt to preserve family memories not just as flat photographs but as "three-dimensional memories" through the integration of a photo studio and a 3D photo platform. It will also be the first time Studio Caratt fully introduces a 3D photo experience.

Preserving "Moments That Cannot Be Captured by Photos Alone" for the Future

Shichi-Go-San, Omiyamairi, birthdays, entrance and graduation ceremonies. There are precious moments in a family's life that occur only once.

Our company has so far preserved many family milestones as photographs to make anniversaries the happiest day in the world.

Meanwhile, OpenHeart's TAVIO, based on the philosophy of "saving and sharing memories with their entire space," is developing technology to record the atmosphere, sense of distance, and the space itself in 3D, which cannot be conveyed by photos or videos.

In recent years, with the spread of smartphones, it has become an era where anyone can easily take photos. On the other hand, photo studios are being asked for more than just "taking photos" – a more special experiential value is sought.

In such circumstances, the desire of both companies to "preserve precious memories more richly for the future" matched, leading to this collaboration. By combining our company's accumulated photography techniques and know-how with OpenHeart's unique 3D generation technology, "TAVIO ENGINE," we aim to create not just a photography service, but an "experience worth preserving for the future."

A New Option for Family Photos: "3D Family Photo Experience"

The 3D Family Photo Experience offered at Studio Caratt Arrio Nishi-Arai store will use the dedicated 3D photography system "TAVIO 3D" to record the family's figures as three-dimensional data. The completed data can be freely viewed in 360 degrees, reproducing not only expressions and poses but also the sense of distance and atmosphere of the scene in three dimensions. This makes it possible to preserve the presence and relationships of family members, which could not be captured by conventional photos, in a more realistic form for the future.

"Moments when the whole family was laughing" "The appearance of a small child" "The atmosphere at that time"

This is a new recording experience that saves these as space, not as a flat surface.

Future Outlook

Starting with this collaboration, OpenHeart and our company plan to expand the possibilities of 3D utilization for life's milestones such as Shichi-Go-San, Omiyamairi, and Coming-of-Age ceremonies. In the future, we are also considering expansion to other stores and the development of new anniversary experiences.

Towards a world where you can experience the actual memory space, not just look at photos.

Caratt Inc. and OpenHeart Inc. will challenge the creation of new value in the photo studio industry and aim to realize the next generation of anniversary experiences.
