Kadinche
Bringing new sensory abilities to humanity
Kadinche Corporation is a technology company within the amana group that explores spatiotemporal and human augmentation technologies, including VR, AR, and MR, and develops systems and provides services in these fields. We possess a broad technology stack in the XR field, ranging from virtual production and volumetric capture to 360-degree video streaming and metaverse space construction, supporting the creation of new customer experiences.
From virtual production to 360-degree video streaming
We cover key XR technologies, from virtual production utilizing LED walls and metaverse studios, to three-dimensional visual expression through volumetric capture, 360-degree video streaming using our proprietary "PanoPlaza series," and the development of metaverse spaces. We also offer proprietary products such as the MR experience integrated management system "Kadinche Layerd®," the VR simultaneous playback system "PanoPlaza Sync," and the metaverse training system "meesh®," enabling customer experiences that were previously impossible to achieve, such as metaverse exhibitions, MR exhibitions, and virtual showrooms.
Implementation of experiences in the cultural and entertainment fields
Development of the core technology for "SWORD ART ONLINE -EX-CHRONICLE- Online Edition," and production and development support for MR content at the Kabuki Gallery special exhibition "Welcome to Kabukiza" held as part of Japan Cultural Expo 2.0, as well as production of "META Kabuki: Genji Memories," are among our extensive achievements in the entertainment field. Furthermore, we are also working on experiential DX in the museum and cultural tourism sectors, such as the MR spatial experience guide "Yokai Glasses: Guide to the Otherworld" at the Mizuki Shigeru Memorial Museum and a demonstration experiment using smart glasses as an artwork exhibition guide at the Kan Yasuda Sculpture Museum Arte Piazza Bibai.
Ability to address advanced technical challenges
XR technology is valuable not only in the entertainment field but also in industrial, disaster prevention, and medical settings. Kadinche has a track record of implementing technology in areas of high social significance, such as remote monitoring of construction sites, application of technology to the treatment of phantom limb pain in medical settings, development of a 3D simulator for Mount Fuji lava flows, and development of a 3D human flow visualizer for NICT's Beyond 5G project, and is addressing the advanced technical challenges of companies and research institutions. By combining AI, image analysis, and generative AI, we are further expanding the accuracy and application range of XR experiences. The R&D Department has been designated as a research institution under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research program, and another strength is its R&D framework in collaboration with academia, including publishing research findings on VR and human perception in international academic journals.
The fusion of technology and creativity
By combining Kadinche's software development and R&D capabilities with amana's creative and design expertise, we have established a system that provides integrated services from system construction to high-quality visual content production. A diverse team of experts, including XR directors, 3DCG creators, engineers, and UX designers, comes together to propose experiential content that integrates technology and expression at a high level.
