About 「αU live」


αU live", the focus of this exhibition, is a service developed through technical cooperation between KDDI and Google Cloud, and scheduled to be released this summer, that allows viewers to watch high-definition, 360-degree, free-viewpoint videos.


The artists and the venue are reproduced in a virtual space, allowing viewers to have an experience similar to that of a real live performance.



At the exhibition, 5G smartphones are connected to multiple monitors placed in the space,


High-definition live images can be experienced immersively by freely changing viewpoints through touch operation.


This content was developed with the assumption that it would be enjoyed with smartphones, but at this venue, visitors can dive into the virtual live space with large screen monitors and smart glasses.



Live images of Hanafu's 2nd ONE-MAN LIVE "incomprehensible-2Q1" and te'resa's "IMAGINARY WORLD" are edited by "αU live". You can experience them with high-definition images from a free viewpoint.



We will continue to actively develop new contents by linking R&D and technological development related to XR technology and production using UNREAL ENGINE.
