Japan XR Center Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nakano-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, CEO/Producer: Taiga Kobayashi) has developed a next-generation XR training solution utilizing the ultra-lightweight AR glasses 'XREAL' series to address the 'severe labor shortage' and 'skill transmission problems due to the retirement of skilled technicians' in on-site operations such as manufacturing and construction. This solution will be unveiled and available for hands-on demonstrations at the 'XR/Metaverse Expo 2026' held at Tokyo Big Sight from June 17, 2026.

Why is AR training necessary now?

Until now, on-site technical education has primarily relied on analog methods such as 'learning by watching' senior workers or 'reading thick manuals.' However, with the accelerating aging of skilled workers and labor shortages, shortening the education period is an urgent task. Our XR training overlays digital information and work procedures directly onto real-world equipment (such as engine parts) through AR glasses, enabling beginners to intuitively learn correct procedures through experience. This dramatically reduces training costs and standardizes work quality.

Complete hands-free experience with ultra-lightweight 'XREAL' glasses

Unlike traditional heavy VR goggles, the 'XREAL' series, as light as sunglasses, reduces strain on the neck during long training sessions. Additionally, because it does not block the real view, trainees can use actual tools and leverage hand tracking for safe and practical training.

Future outlook: turning all real space into content

This technology is not limited to corporate training; it aims to expand into fields such as disaster simulation, multilingual tourist guides, and entertainment, augmenting real spaces. Japan XR Center continues to solve social issues with AR technology and create new experiential value.
