SoVeC Provides 'Giant 3D Chanmina' AR and Naked-Eye 3D Experience at K-Arena Yokohama

SoVeC Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Mamoru Kamikawa; hereinafter 'SoVeC') will provide a special experience utilizing its location-based AR app 'XR CHANNEL' and 'Naked-eye 3D Experience' for the 'NURO' promotion conducted by Sony Network Communications Inc. at K-Arena Yokohama.

This initiative combines 'XR CHANNEL'—a location-based AR app that displays AR in everyday spaces using Visual Positioning System (VPS) technology—with a 'Naked-eye 3D Experience' that allows viewers to experience stereoscopic images on standard large displays without the need for VR goggles or other devices. Together, these create new experience value at the 'NURO' booth at the K-Arena Yokohama special venue.
