C.sagyoba Co. (President: Sachiko Takane, Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo), in collaboration with Keio University's India-Japan Laboratory, conducted a hands-on learning program utilizing cutting-edge XR technology at a middle school in Mumbai, India. The program provided an opportunity to deepen awareness of environmental issues and encouraged students to think about the possibilities of clean energy in the future.

Let's create the energy station of the future!

On September 10, 2024, "Mumbai Public School - ICSE" in Mumbai hosted the "Let's create the energy stations of the future," a hands-on learning program using virtual reality (VR) under the theme of SDG Goal 7 "Affordable and Clean Energy ". This program aimed to introduce students to XR technology, including both AR and VR, and explore its application in visualizing future energy solutions. Students were provided with a basic introduction to XR technology, allowing them to experience the difference between AR and VR, and use their imagination to visualize future energy stations in a VR scene.

By utilizing "STYLY," which enables students to easily create VR scenes without programming knowledge, students selected and placed objects based on their own ideas to express novel clean energy concepts that cannot be tested in reality. The completed scenes were presented to their classmates and shown to the world through the platform.

■Program Results and Future Prospects

This program was first implemented last year in Delhi, India, providing an opportunity for young people to think about solutions to environmental problems through the use of technology. In this year's implementation in Mumbai, the students made full use of three-dimensional space to create their own unique visions of clean energy. Their enthusiasm and creativity demonstrate the possibility of a sustainable future.
