OTHER PERSPECTIVE
DETAILS OF THE WORK
AWARDS 2019 SILVER
Nice to meet you, I'm Aki Oeka, a virtual YouTuber! I've been researching manga-like expressions in VR space for quite a while now. Just what will happen if you have a planar expression with the limitation of 'frames' inside the three-dimensional information space which we call VR? Manga is an essential form of art and culture for Japan, which has been around for quite some time. How will manga be harmonized with the coming age of xR? It would be amazing if you got to experience it sprouting!

This work expresses the fun of experiencing manga in three dimensions. And it is impressive that the two-dimensional goodness still remains. It was interesting not only to place the manga frames but also to get inside and experience the passage of time in order. There are many animations and live-action movies as the next step of the manga, but I feel that this work imply another possibilities. The world has changed like from the era of reading comics on paper to the era of reading comics on tablets, it might be mainstream to read with goggles for next era.

In fact, this work is the No. 1 based on my own opinion. As I am a independent creator, I think the details and degree of completion are just as important as the creativity of the work. I am very impressed by this work’s high degree of completion, and the professional techniques applied in its details and visual effects. I really want to praise this creator for the dedication and efforts paid in this work. As an independent creator, I want to show my support for other creators out there who paid genuine effort in their works.

The evolution of the expression of manga. A work that presents one direction. You can experience manga instead of reading it. I think this work is really nice because it is digested in the form of manga rather than in the form of anime.
