SeiRogai, Inc. showcased its pioneering work in the realm of virtual tourism during the recent online results presentation of the “Tokyo Startup Social Implementation Promotion Project (PoC Ground Tokyo)” on March 13, 2024. Selected as one of the top eight companies for the 2023 fiscal year, SeiRogai shared insights into their proof-of-concept trials and future aspirations.
The presentation included participation from administrative officials of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and each company reported on the overview of their proof-of-concept experiments, the results obtained, and future prospects.
‘PoC Ground Tokyo’ Online Results Presentation on March 13, 2024
At the heart of SeiRogai’s presentation was a report on the production of the “Tama City 360° VR Virtual Tour,” a groundbreaking endeavor aimed at revolutionizing the way we experience VR travel. Rachel Leng, SeiRogai’s COO, elucidated on the project’s innovative VR360 filming approach, which intertwines educational narratives and sustainable development goals, fostering not just tourism but a deeper connection to local cultures and communities.
Our collaboration with Tama City Hall has been instrumental in propelling this vision forward. Through their support, our company is forging ahead with the development of a transformative project and new business model titled: “Global Virtual Travel: Unleashing the Charm of the Region to the Fullest.” This initiative promises to redefine the tourism landscape by offering immersive experiences that transcend geographical boundaries.
Looking ahead, SeiRogai is dedicated to further enriching its offerings through the integration of an EC-integrated virtual tour and content platform. This cutting-edge platform will not only showcase the allure of diverse regions but also facilitate tourism bookings and promote local specialties, thereby fueling regional revitalization efforts.
During the Q&A session following the presentation, we received questions from the expert panel about areas where the production didn’t go as smoothly as expected and differences in user reactions compared to existing VR tour contents produced by other companies. SeiRogai is pleased to report that monitor participants in the interview research event expressed strong appreciation for the narrated storytelling, expert-guided explanations, and the ability to discover local attractions from a global perspective. Their enthusiasm reaffirms our commitment to delivering unparalleled experiences that captivate and inspire. We anticipate that providing both narrative-driven visuals and experiences allowing for free exploration will further enhance satisfaction.
While the filming techniques for 360° VR tours can be challenging and specialized, we will continue to explore the use of new technologies to validate the production of even more effective visuals for XR contents in the future.

On March 8, 2024, we conducted a Monitor Event (Interview Research) for the “Tama City 360° VR Virtual Tour”.

Moreover, the potential of the EC integration feature was met with resounding approval, underscoring its significance in shaping the future of virtual tourism. Regarding this EC integration feature, over 90% of participants showed a positive attitude towards using it for acquiring further information about travel bookings and local product information.
