Aoyama Gakuin University VR Campus to Open to the Public on April 1, 2026

Cluster Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Naoto Kato) has been commissioned by Aoyama Gakuin University (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Hiroshige Inazumi) to develop the "Aoyama Gakuin University VR Campus" on the metaverse platform "cluster," which will be opened to the public on Wednesday, April 1, 2026. The Aoyama Gakuin University VR Campus has been developed with a view to its use in regular curriculum subjects, serving as a new learning environment that connects the Aoyama Campus and Sagamihara Campus in virtual space. After its public release, it will be widely accessible as a place for visitors to experience the campus atmosphere, and is planned to be expanded for use in Aoyama Standard subjects (university-wide common education system), open campus events, and interaction activities among alumni. This initiative is one of Aoyama Gakuin University's future-oriented educational practices, based on the flow of its mid-to-long-term vision.
