Work responsibilities

As a research of XR technology, I am researching how to develop for AR, MR, and VR. Currently, I am development a simulator using XR technology in cooperation with Miura and other members of the Training Section. Research, by itself, does not help EBARA. We are thinking about how we can contribute to business and help the company through our research results, and the XR simulator can help us do this.

Skill development and sharing expertise with other employees

As this was our first initiative as a company, we did not have any experience internally. So, I studied development methods by referring to VR development blogs and other resources. XR development has a short history and new technologies are frequently being released. I believe that new development methods will be created in the next year, so I will keep up with new information so that I do not miss out on changes. As for sharing expertise, I received a request from the Training Section to teach XR development, and I am considering how to prepare some kind of curriculum.

Future goals & message to young people

I would like to develop a simulator that can be used for training at any time using a device. In addition, the simulator we are currently developing is a one-player simulator, but I would like to take on the challenge of sharing a training room with multiple players by incorporating network game technology. XR development is becoming easier with new technologies every year, and I think it will be the ideas of what kinds of services to make that will be most important. Join us to contribute your youthful sensibilities and help us develop new services.
