About Forest Digital
Founded in November 2019, Forest Digital, led by CEO Yuji Tsujiki, is at the forefront of developing immersive experiences that transform ordinary environments into captivating media spaces. Their cutting-edge platform, uralaa, is designed to deliver immersive experiences without the need for goggles, utilizing groundbreaking cloud-based VR technology.

Innovative Experiences
In its constant quest to enhance user experiences, Forest Digital has launched several initiatives that exemplify their commitment to innovation. In October, in collaboration with sports channel DAZN, they hosted an immersive live viewing event for a Meiji Yasuda J1 League match between Kashima Antlers and Gamba Osaka. This event, held 500 kilometers away from the stadium at the Kansai World Expo, offered participants a revolutionary way to experience sports through multi-projection and 360-degree visuals.

Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing feelings of being at the stadium itself and experiencing the excitement of the match in a whole new way.

On August 13, the company brought the vibrant atmosphere of the 73rd Tokachi Hanabi Festival to Tokyo's Shirokane showroom, allowing attendees to enjoy this traditional summer event. Comments from participants included expressions of amazement, with many stating how they never expected to witness the Tokachi fireworks in Tokyo.

Expanding Horizons
Forest Digital's vision extends beyond sports and entertainment. The company has actively sought to apply its technology in the tourism and wellness sectors as well. During the Kansai World Expo, Forest Digital implemented multiple displays of uralaa at the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion, providing guests with immersive experiences centered on digital forest bathing.
Additionally, from July to September, they showcased a digital forest bathing experience at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, allowing visitors to escape into a tranquil immersive space designed for relaxation and rejuvenation.
