Ver.The latest version, Ver.24, has added and improved further features for the metaverse. This presentation will demonstrate the humanoid bone, cloth and coating texture, data reduction to optimize performance in metaverse space, and enhanced output to glTF. Future developments such as 3D modelling based on point cloud loading, which is currently under development, and new features of the "Suite Chidori Engine", the Japanese game engine, will also be presented.
The 11th Cloud Programming World Cup for StudentsFORUM8 TV commercial character Pakkun will host the awards ceremony!
"11th CPWC" competing for cloud application programming technology using development kits and "13th VDWC" competing for advanced architectural and civil engineering designs in the cloud. In the middle of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, each team put a lot of thought into their own work, for example creating cloud-based data. We have received many works from across Japan and abroad, mainly from Asian countries. At the final public screening, students will give thought-provoking and creative presentations.

Prof. Yoichi Ochiai
This discussion will provide a discussion of the deep exploration of digital nature emerging at the intersection of digital technology and the natural world. The impact of the new nature created by the fusion of natural computation and computer simulation in the fields of art, science, and philosophy will be analyzed in an interdisciplinary way. An insight into future possibilities will be explained through the construction of a new view of nature created by the mixture of ancient thought and modern technology, and the pursuit of human object-oriented cognition. In the discussion, they will discuss the evolving digital nature and the development of new artistic and scientific expressions based on it.

Release the Possibility of Web3: Innovation of FORUM8 CIC Research Lab.
Chief of Cambridge Toranomon Lab. (CIC Tokyo)
Marc Aurel Schnabel
At the "FORUM8 CIC Research Lab" in the innovation hub in the Toranomon Hills, Tokyo, FORUM8 engineers are exploring the possibilities of future technologies for Web3 and the metaverse. They are working with researchers from MIT and World16 to prototype the latest innovation. This presentation will introduce FORUM8's NFT Generator, which enhances the user experience by providing certified digital content exchange.
The 16th International VR SymposiumAn international VR symposium where members of "World 16" composed of researchers from all over the world in the fields of architecture, civil engineering, city planning, etc. have gathered to present and discuss proposals for using VR. The Summer Workshop, which started in Phoenix, USA in 2008, was first held in Japan the following year in 2009 in Hakone, Japan. Then it has been held around the world every year including in Boston MIT in 2017, in Paris, France in 2019, and in Groningen, Netherlands this year. The event will be held under the direction of Dr. Yoshihiro Kobayashi of Arizona State University with the presentation of the results of applied research and development and its application to FORUM8 products.
The 9th Junior Software Seminar Awards CeremonyExcellent works created at the "Junior Software Seminar" will be awarded. The seminar is held for elementary and junior high school students during the long holidays in winter, spring and summer, connecting the FORUM8 HQ and 9 offices across Japan via TV conference.
Venue: Foyer
