■Overview
"KAMEOKA VIRTUAL HISTORIA" is a Metaverse space that reproduces historical and cultural resources such as traditional performing arts, festivals, customs, nature, etc. of various parts of the city, including cultural properties owned by the Kameoka City Cultural Museum. Set in the townscape of Kameoka in the Edo period, such as the Kameyama castle tower and palaces, which cannot be seen today, users can get in touch with the history of the area by collecting historical materials scattered throughout. It does not require installation of applications, etc., and can be easily accessed by anyone from your device.

Unlike the Metaverse space, which is intended for interaction between users, this content is designed to be an experience that even one person can enjoy for a long time by adding a storyline similar to a quest-type game. . In addition to digitally archiving cultural assets, we are particular about creating a high-quality worldview with reality, creating a high sense of immersion and experience satisfaction through activities that transcend time and space, and experience value unique to Kameoka. provide.

A world created by high-quality and realistic spatial modeling that pays attention to detail. By constructing an displays experience story that completes Historia (history book) there, we gave it entertainment that anyone can enjoy. By exploring the Metaverse while having fun, we aim to create a “space” and “experience” that will allow many people to learn about the rich local resources, history, and culture, and learn about the charm of Kameoka. and challenged the new possibilities of the Metaverse.

When I thought about how to get people who don't know Kameoka to take an interest in Kameoka, I felt that using the Metaverse would be a great advantage, especially since it's an era where the Metaverse is considered a "new thing" in the world. . Originally, history and the Metaverse may not be very close to each other, but by taking the plunge in connecting the two in this project, we reaffirmed that they are actually very compatible. I would be happy if "KAMEOKA VIRTUAL HISTORIA" reached the younger generation and let them know not only the charm of Kameoka but also the enjoyment of learning about history.

Mr. Takahiro Katsuragawa, Mayor of Kameoka City
Kameoka City has many temples and shrines because it is blessed with abundant nature. It has a longer history than the ancient city of Kyoto, and it is also a city that changed during a period of historical change. Through this project, we would like to convey the many wonderful charms of Kameoka to people in Japan and overseas, and to develop human resources who will create new ones and pass them on. Proposing a new cultural experience from Kameoka is a big challenge for the city as well, so I would like many people to experience it.

Kameoka City will continue to enhance the contents of the Digital Museum of Cultural History, and by appropriately protecting and preserving the charm and cultural heritage of the city, everyone will be able to access it regardless of space. We will continue to create an environment that will lead to the development of the next generation of human resources.
