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. have jointly developed "BodySharing® for Business," a metaverse office that enables sensory sharing, to address the challenges of dual work.
H2L Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as H2L) and NOMURA Co.,Ltd. Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as NOMURA Co.,Ltd.) have collaborated using BodySharing® technology*
We will officially release "BodySharing® for Business," a metaverse office designed to share sensations and address the challenges of dual work, on Thursday, June 29, 2023.
This service features BodySharing® technology, which visualizes "energy levels" and "relaxation levels" and reflects them in avatars, making communication easier. Based on feedback from companies that experienced the beta version (operational since October 2022), we have made this service available in a browser. We have overcome environmental challenges that often hinder metaverse implementation (such as PC specifications and communication speed), and it can now be used immediately after account registration.
NOMLAB, NOMURA Co.,Ltd. 's innovation laboratory, leverages the high degree of freedom unique to the metaverse.
We planned and developed the space for the metaverse office.

H2L's proprietary technology, FirstVR**, a device equipped with the world's first muscle displacement sensor, is worn on the calf to estimate "energy level" and "relaxation level" from muscle displacement data. Both mental and physical sensations are automatically reflected in the avatar within the metaverse office. By sharing bodily sensations through the avatar, improvements in communication, self-medication, and work efficiency can be expected.
*BodySharing® technology: This technology allows users to share and experience various bodily sensations with characters, robots, or human bodies. Here, bodily sensations include not only sight and hearing, but also proprioception such as positional sense, weight sense, and resistance sense.
**FirstVR: Equipped with an optical active sensing sensor to detect muscle movement.**
