torinome Spaces Screen
HoloLab Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Kaoru Nakamura; hereinafter "HoloLab") has jointly developed and released the spatial prototyping web application "torinome Spaces" with Nomura Kogeisha Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Nomura Kogeisha").
## ■ What is "torinome Spaces": Making spatial prototyping easier with XR
"torinome Spaces" is a spatial prototyping tool that allows users to place 3D models and images on a web browser and immediately check them with XR devices. It was developed as a new application of HoloLab's XR digital twin platform "torinome". The conventional "torinome" had its strength in visualizing wide-area information based on latitude and longitude, but in prototyping indoor designs and furniture layouts, defining geographical coordinates and preparing complex setting data were hurdles to its utilization. "torinome Spaces" eliminates the need for geographic information settings and provides an environment where users can operate intuitively using any location as the origin by aligning with real space using markers.
- Instantly reflect in XR with drag & drop
Just drag and drop 3D data, images, and videos into the web browser. No dedicated app development is necessary.
- Free placement based on origin:
No latitude or longitude settings are required. Content can be freely placed using any location as the origin.
- UI focused on operability:
A simple interface that narrows down functions to those necessary for spatial verification so that even first-time users can use it without hesitation.
By combining it with torinome for AVP (Apple Vision Pro), spatial verification of "seeing, moving, and deciding at full size" becomes possible through high-definition passthrough. It can be utilized in various situations beyond indoor design, such as exhibition and event space layouts, fixture, and signage planning.
## ■ Background and purpose of development: DX of "Mockup" in space creation
In the process of space creation, when building consensus with internal members and clients, conventional 3D perspectives and drawings alone often fail to accurately convey the actual size of the space and the volume of objects, creating a gap in perception. Therefore, there are cases where a process called "mockup" is performed to verify by partially manufacturing life-size models. However, it is an industry-wide challenge that mockups require a significant preparation period, securing space, and manufacturing costs, and that waste materials are generated each time verification is performed, resulting in a large environmental burden.
Nomura Kogeisha's Future Creation Research Institute, taking the emergence of Apple Vision Pro as an opportunity, started transforming this "mockup" process and jointly developed this tool with HoloLab Inc. to speed up consensus building and improve spatial quality.
The purpose of developing this tool is not to completely replace physical "mockups", but to digitize the initial and intermediate stages of verification and concentrate resources on final confirmations that require physical manufacturing. By creating an environment where repeated life-size verification is possible using XR, diverse patterns can be verified in a short period, contributing to the realization of higher quality spatial design.
