■“I took the photo thinking that the camera was a fan!” (INI Kimura Seya)

Distribution of special content for INI’s flagship program “INITIME MUSIC” (Nippon Television) has started.

This project will deliver “INITIME VR CONCERT,” which records INI’s performance as 8K VR video, and the moving MR Acstar “INITIME BOX.” Delivering a new connection between artists and fans through an immersive experience made possible by cutting-edge technology.

■Summon INI to your room!? Moving MR Axta “INITIME BOX”
With the theme of “Everyday life where you can meet your favorites every day,” the “Moving MR Acstar” was born, making full use of 3D capture technology. You can summon INI members to your room using the VR/MR headset Meta Quest and the dedicated app “INITIME BOX.”

You can enjoy the members from any 360-degree angle, from their everyday appearances to their performances, and you can even hold the members in your hand like an acrylic stand. Your home will quickly turn into a special space with INI.

■Have a front row seat to watch INI’s performance all to yourself! “INITIME VR CONCERT”
INI’s first 8K VR performance video will be distributed. You can enjoy the immersive experience of being in the front row of a live concert at home. The lineup includes performances of new songs as well as special VR-specific performances, making it a must-see lineup for fans.

The videos will be distributed sequentially on INI official YouTube. Although it can be viewed on a PC or smartphone, if you watch it on Meta Quest’s “YouTube VR” you can enjoy INI’s performance in three-dimensional reality. For details, please visit the project site.

I actually watched the video with Meta Quest on, and it felt like I was right in front of them, so I thought of the camera as a fan and took the picture!
■Shogo Tajima
It looks like they’re really right in front of you, so you can see things that aren’t the people in the center, so I hope you enjoy it!
