AboutH2LInc.
Established in July 2012. For the purpose of sharing experiences, we are conducting research and development and business development of BodySharing ® ︎, a new generation sensory sharing technology that follows audiovisual. The main products are the PossessedHand®, which was selected as one of TIME Magazine's "50 Inventions That Will Change the Future of 2011", UnlimitedHand®, which realizes input and output of computer gestures and proprioception, FirstVR ® for sensory input. H2L has strengths in technology that detects hand movements and proprioception from muscle bulges and in technology that conveys proprioception by applying multi-electrode electrical stimulation to the arm. By combining these technologies with avatar synthesis technology, remote control robots, etc., we will realize BodySharing ® ︎.
In 2020, we were selected as a "venture building a post-corona society" by the Japan Venture Capital Association.
H2L and NOMURA Co.,Ltd. officially release "BodySharing® for Business," a metaverse office that allows shared senses, jointly developed to solve the issue of dual work.

We will officially release "BodySharing® for Business," a metaverse office that aims to share perceptions and solve the challenges of dual work, on Thursday, June 29, 2023.
The service's unique feature is that it uses BodySharing® technology to visualize users' energy and relaxation levels and reflect them in avatars, facilitating communication. Furthermore, following feedback from companies who tried out the beta version (operating from October 2022), the service is now available on a browser. Environmental issues (such as PC specifications and internet speeds) that often hinder the adoption of the metaverse have been resolved, making it possible to use the service immediately after registering an account.
NOMURA Co.,Ltd. 's innovation laboratory, NOMLAB, is taking advantage of the high degree of freedom that is unique to the Metaverse.
We planned and developed the Metaverse office space.

FirstVR**, a device equipped with the world's first muscle displacement sensor, is a proprietary technology of H2L. By wearing it on the calf, muscle displacement data is used to estimate "energy level" and "relaxation level." Both mental and physical sensations are automatically reflected in avatars in the Metaverse office. By sharing physical sensations with avatars, improved communication, self-medication, and work improvements can be expected.
