DETAILS OF THE WORK
AWARDS 2020 WAIWAI PRIZE
Now there is a GoTo campaign and I can move freely, however, overseas travel continues to be difficult even now. Until a while ago, travel restrictions were set due to COVID-19. What I came up with at that time was “alien's sightseeing in Tokyo.” Utilizing VR’s features that give you simulated experiences such as feeling like you visited an unknown place, I made it thinking it would be interesting if I could go sightseeing with aliens. This time, aliens don’t only visit tourist spots but do 3D copying and pasting of buildings, vehicles and so on. Please enjoy sightseeing with aliens.

CREATOR PROFILE
Namai Yuhi
Ordinary people who want to be creators ｜Japan
I started to study VR when I came back to Japan in September 2019, after having lived in Beijing for seven years.
Regarding 3DCG and programming, I am still studying because I started with no experience.
Currently, I am studying Japanese language education in college, so I want to try collaboration with Japanese and VR.
I want to be a creator, however, I don’t know what to do and am searching.

It is simple, enjoyable, and easy to understand for anyone to experience.
This work reminds us of the potential of XR to remove the constraints of time, distance, and corona disasters in the current situation where unnecessary travel is frowned upon.
The idea of aliens incorporating buildings and other objects from tourist attractions into their spaceship makes XR more accessible, and I was excited to imagine a new way to enjoy travel through "XR x tourism," such as bringing back objects and scenes from tourist attractions that you cannot actually take home as souvenirs or memories of your trip through photogrammetry.Prize Owner 2020
