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.
Joint development by H2L and NOMURA to solve dual work issues Official release of Metaverse office "BodySharing® for Business" that allows you to share your senses
H2L Co., Ltd. (hereafter H2L) and NOMURA, Ltd. (hereafter NOMURA) will use BodySharing® technology* to
We will officially release the metaverse office “BodySharing® for Business” on June 29, 2023 (Thursday), which aims to share the sense and solve the problems of dual work.
The feature of this service is that it facilitates communication by visualizing the "energy level" and "relaxation level" using BodySharing® technology and reflecting it on the avatar. In addition, after receiving feedback from companies who have experienced the beta version (operation from October 2022), we have made it possible to use this service on the browser. The problems of the environment (PC specs, communication speed, etc.) that tend to be barriers to introducing the Metaverse have been cleared, and it is now possible to use it immediately after registering an account.
NOMURA 's innovation laboratory "NOMLAB" takes advantage of the high degree of freedom unique to the Metaverse.
We planned and developed the space for the Metaverse office.
