Augmented Reality (Tera Platform AR Ver1.0) and Buddhist Virtual Space Concept (Teraverse), Developed by Associate Professor Seiji Kumagai et al., Featured in the News Program “TSS Like!” (Television Shin-Hiroshima System)

On September 27, 2022, augmented reality (AR) called “Tera Platform AR Ver1.0” and Buddhist virtual space concept “Teraverse,” co-developed by Associate Professor Seiji Kumagai and Toshikazu Furuya (CEO, Teraverse Co., Ltd.), were featured in the news program “TSS Like!” (Television Shin-Hiroshima System).

“Tera Platform AR Ver1.0” is a new platform that adds AR technology to the AI-Based chatbot “Buddhabot” that Associate Professor Kumagai and his team presented last year. The development team has since completed the new platform. They plan to further add VR and other technologies to develop the “Teraverse,” a Buddhist virtual world that combines Buddhism and metaverse technology.
