Virtual Fireworks Festival
Fireworks festivals, virtually.
Experience fireworks festivals in the metaverse. We have hosted five festivals across Hiroshima Prefecture since 2021.
What is a Virtual Fireworks Festival?
We recreate local landscapes in cluster's metaverse spaces and launch fireworks above them. Join from a PC, smartphone, or VR headset and enjoy a fireworks festival from home.
Using 3D city model data from PLATEAU by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, terrain and buildings are reproduced as they appear on site. Enjoy fireworks in a vast world that includes entire downtown areas, with a real sense of wind and open space.
This is not just a video stream. Stand on the deck of the battleship Yamato, ride a streetcar, and enjoy experiences unique to each location.
Supported platform: cluster (PC / iOS / Android / Meta Quest)
Track Record
Five fireworks festivals since 2021. 4,075 participants in total.
