Plathome Announces Major Upgrade to Official Oomagari Fireworks App for Enhanced User Experience

Plathome Unveils Major Upgrade for Oomagari Fireworks App

On June 23, 2025, Plathome Inc., a renowned developer and manufacturer of microservers and IoT gateways based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, announced an exciting major upgrade to the official app for the Oomagari Fireworks Festival held annually in Daisen, Akita Prefecture. This pivotal enhancement aims to offer an enriched experience for fans who celebrate this significant cultural event.

New Features Overview

1. Participant Badge Feature

The upgraded app will improve engagement by allowing users, both onsite and those watching from across the nation via broadcast, to earn respective badges based on their participation types. This interactive element adds an exciting dimension to the festival experience, fostering deeper connections between fans and the event.

2. Enhanced Offline Capability

Given that large-scale events like Oomagari Fireworks can often experience unstable communication environments, the new app version has significantly boosted its background features. Users can now enjoy the app's core functionalities without interruptions, even in offline settings, ensuring a seamless user experience that lets fans focus solely on the fireworks.

Integration of Web3 Technologies

In this upgrade, Plathome is also integrating Web3 (blockchain) technology, which supports a decentralized and transparent platform. The goal is to create a new economy that allows varied stakeholders in the Oomagari Fireworks community to collaborate effectively in the real world. This development is set to establish new value creation and sustainability for the festival, engaging both local and global fans through digital technology and token systems.
