This is a prototype of the “Shooting Game Customization System,” which can be utilized in various situations such as events and amusement facilities! By standardizing the game system and allowing easy customization of the world and characters, it provides tailored character experiences that match each scene. It was impressive to see both kids and adults fully immersed in the game during the exhibition.

【‘Doramy’s Idea☆Factory’】 BASSDRUM has developed a prototype using AI that turns your answers into concrete ideas and automatically generates project proposals. Introducing ‘Dorummy’s Idea☆Factory’✨—an amazing tool that even suggests the perfect technical director for your project. Plus, Doramy, BASSDRUM’s official character, reacts on a 3D display, making the experience even more interactive! 👏

One of the standout exhibits at the SEEDS exhibition was the ‘Rotating LED Light Source Control System.’ This prototype explored new possibilities for technology by controlling rotating LED bars, sourced from China, with TouchDesigner. It would definitely make a great addition to event productions!During the exhibition, we also tested its endurance for continuous operation.

On June 12, 2024, Luma AI released the Dream Machine, a tool designed to generate high-quality videos from text and images in just a few minutes. Our Tech Director, Kousei, gave it a try with two prompts. The first prompt, “Low-angle shot of a cat playing bass and drums through a snowy landscape,” produced a video where a man was playing guitar, and the character was not a cat, but a monster. The second prompt, provided by the official release—"A teddy bear in sunglasses playing electric guitar, dancing and headbanging in the jungle in front of a large beautiful waterfall"—came out quite well and matched the description accurately. Trying it out was straightforward, and I would highly suggest you try it if you haven’t yet!

Introducing 'Dematchi,' the official mascot of our Kyoto office, fondly known as Demachi Gadget! Thanks to the power of GPT-4o, Dematchi can now chatter away in fluent Kansai dialect! Enjoy the charming combination of our LOVOT robot with AI in a traditional Japanese house infused with technology. And please feel free to come see him if you're around. 🎙️

Our Tech Director, Kenta, has been deeply researching the capabilities of Three.js and WebGPU. His exploration of these technologies has uncovered fascinating insights, leading to the creation of a short article (in Japanese) that explains the changes and developments in this field. https://zenn.dev/wtshm/articles/2d55e77f48de55

Utilizing GLSL to experiment with raymarching techniques, Kenta has created a visually impressive demo based on his research. The result? A stunning demonstration that showcases the potential of raymarching in 3D graphics.
