JTB Corp. unveils some of the lighting effects for the Oni no Kageyu Yumeguri no Tabi (Onion's Blades: A Journey of Hot Springs).

"Immersive Sound and Light Effects with Character Interaction and Photo Opportunities"

In this event, an audio AR (Augmented Reality) app called "Locatone™" is used, which automatically plays sound and music based on your location (Note 1). The content incorporates 360-degree spatial audio technology, creating a sense of presence with synchronized lighting. This enables character dialogues and scenes reminiscent of the anime "Demon Slayer" to be reenacted, providing an experience as if you've stepped into the world of the anime. Additionally, you can use the AR camera for photo opportunities with the characters.

Note 1: AR (Augmented Reality) is a technology that extends reality with virtual elements.

Note 2: "Locatone™" is a service developed by Sony Corporation for enjoying Sound AR™, a new sensory audio experience where virtual world sounds blend with the real world. "Sound AR" and "Locatone" are trademarks of Sony Group Corporation or its affiliated companies.

"Hot Spring Tour: Collect Stamps with Your Commemorative Hot Spring Pass"

The hot spring passes, featuring "Demon Slayer" characters on folding screens, can be taken home as souvenirs.

"Characterful ufotable Original Illustrations"
