Okinawa Arena Corporation, which operates the Okinawa Suntory Arena, has decided to introduce the next-generation performance equipment 'LED Floor (VISION Floor)' starting this fiscal year.

The LED Floor (VISION Floor) is an equipment that adopts the LED-equipped floor 'ASB GlassFloor (ASB LumiFlex)' developed by ASB Systembau Horst Babinsky GmbH, headquartered in Germany. It is an advanced performance equipment that can utilize the floor surface itself as a giant video device, enabling immersive non-daily space performances linked with video, lighting, and sound in various events such as sports events, concerts, e-sports, MICE, corporate events, and exhibitions.

The continuous operation of the LED-equipped floor 'ASB GlassFloor (ASB LumiFlex)' as an arena performance equipment that can be utilized in a wide range of events beyond sports events is the first case in Asia.

With the introduction of the LED Floor (VISION Floor), Okinawa Suntory Arena aims to create a new arena experience that has never been seen before. Since videos can be flexibly changed according to the event concept, various performances that meet the needs of the organizers become possible, and further improvement of event value and audience experience value is expected.

In addition, as an equipment that can be utilized for space branding that reflects the image of the event, it is assumed to be utilized in a wide range of fields such as entertainment, sports, MICE, and regional events.

In recent years, as competition among large-scale arenas in Japan and abroad has accelerated, Okinawa Suntory Arena aims to further enhance its functions, appeal, and competitiveness as a multipurpose arena through the introduction of this equipment, aiming to be a top-class arena in Japan and one of the leading next-generation arenas in Asia.

Furthermore, through the attraction of new events and the development of content, we also expect ripple effects on the economy, tourism, and population exchange in Okinawa City and Okinawa Prefecture as a whole.

In the future, Okinawa Arena Corporation will continue to improve the environment to respond to diverse event needs and create new experience value and liveliness for the region from the Okinawa Suntory Arena.
