We pitched at TSUKUBA CONNÉCT #54

Our CEO Imamura took the stage at the startup pitch session of TSUKUBA CONNÉCT #54, held on Friday 15 September 2023 at co-en, a coworking space in front of Tsukuba Station, and presented the indoor AR cloud service IndooAR.

TSUKUBA CONNÉCT #54 was held on the theme “esports × the diversity and potential of industry”. Esports is expected to keep growing within the content field. It also widens the market for the industries around it, which makes it an area with a great deal of economic promise.

We think the AR applications and the indoor AR cloud we are building can be one way to widen what is possible in esports and entertainment, and we will keep looking for ways to apply them.

■ About TSUKUBA CONNÉCT

TSUKUBA CONNÉCT is an innovation and networking program hosted by Ibaraki Prefecture and run in Tsukuba by Venture Café, which originated in Boston and operates in 16 cities across 6 countries.

Held on the third Friday of every month, TSUKUBA CONNÉCT combines opportunities to learn (panel sessions, lectures, workshops) with opportunities to connect (networking, exhibition tables). Its defining feature is that anyone with even a little interest in innovation can join — entrepreneurs, people looking for a new challenge, researchers, investors and students alike.

■ About Nefront

Nefront uses AI and AR to make the information in a building easy to see and use.
IndooAR, our spatial information management system, uses image recognition to work out where you are — even indoors, where GPS barely reaches. From there it can guide you, show you AR content, and keep track of information and equipment.
We also offer Filefront, an AI drawing search service. It finds the sheet you need out of a large set of PDF drawings, by drawing type or by keyword.
