As part of the "Sony Park Mini Summer Trilogy" for both children and adults during the summer vacation period, three programs will be held under the themes of "Catch Ball," "Ice Cream," and "Haunted House."
The first installment is "Park Lab EXPT.07 Does catch cross the boundaries of play?"
Park Lab is a program intended to offer a peek into the future discovered within everyday life by Sony.
It is an experimental space designed to encourage people to see things in daily life from slightly different perspectives.
Park Lab EXPT.07 is an online experiment connecting Sony Park Mini and Sony Store Ginza, which are located more than 200 meters apart, to play "catch-ball" by fusing real and virtual sounds. This is an experiment in "catch-ball" play that relies on sound, fusing the real and virtual.
This is a new play experience called "XR Catch," which was developed using Sony's video, audio, and sensing technologies and incorporating inclusive design methods with the help of visually impaired people.
Through this experiment, we will consider how to create a society in which everyone can participate and play more freely.
