Exploring Disaster Prevention in the Metaverse at TOKYO DIGICONX 2026

Meta Heroes Set to Showcase Disaster Prevention in the Metaverse at TOKYO DIGICONX 2026

Meta Heroes, headquartered in Osaka, is preparing to exhibit its groundbreaking "Disaster Prevention Metaverse" at the third iteration of TOKYO DIGICONX, taking place at Tokyo Big Sight from January 8 to 10, 2026. This event, known as the 3rd TOKYO XR & Metaverse and Content Business World, will highlight the convergence of cutting-edge technologies such as XR, the Metaverse, and AI.

During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to experience our interactive booth, where the Disaster Prevention Metaverse will take center stage. This innovative installation aims to equip participants with essential disaster preparedness skills through engaging and memorable hands-on experiences.

The Necessity of Disaster Preparedness in Japan

In a country where natural disasters are a constant threat, disaster preparedness remains a pressing issue. Traditional methods of learning, focused primarily on lectures and drills, are no longer sufficient. There is an increasing demand for engaging, practical learning experiences that promote active participation and long-term retention of knowledge. By utilizing the power of technology, we can revamp the educational landscape regarding disaster preparedness.

Meta Heroes embraces the theme of "Society 5.0 × SDGs × HERO." Our vision is to empower everyone to become a hero in their own lives, and the Disaster Prevention Metaverse embodies this ideal by making learning both enjoyable and effective.

Key Features of the Exhibition

Visitors to our booth can expect to engage with the following solutions:

1. Disaster Prevention Metaverse Simulation

Experience the moment of a disaster occurring within the confines of a metaverse environment. Participants will gain vital skills by choosing appropriate evacuation routes and identifying danger zones through an interactive, game-like experience. This immersive approach provides invaluable training that traditional methods cannot replicate, enhancing critical thinking during emergencies.

2. Case Studies of Implementation in Municipalities and Educational Institutions

We will present concrete examples of how our solutions have been implemented, including successful initiatives at the DX educational facility "Hero Egg" in Osaka's Namba district. Attendees can gain insights into the detailed introduction process and educational benefits of our program. This information will be particularly beneficial for those considering the incorporation of our solution into corporate training or school curricula.

3. Further Evolution in Our Third Exhibition

Building on feedback from our previous two exhibitions, we have refined our metaverse experience, ensuring that we deliver a highly polished product that meets the needs of today’s learners.
