KOISHIKAWA XROSS Digital Museum

The concept for this facility is a digital museum that visitors can enjoy with their senses, where the past and future intersect and people and cultures meet through cultural assets. We are proposing a new viewing experience of cultural assets with digital technology.

• GATE

  Upon arriving at the KOISHIKAWA XROSS Digital Museum, visitors are greeted by an LED installation inspired by the traditional Japanese torii gates. The luminous diodes, which represent the beginning of digital archiving, guide visitors through the museum.

  

• VR THEATER

  The VR Theater uses a giant 20-meter-wide and 5-meter-high curved LED screen to display 16K ultra-high definition VR imagery that provides visitors with a highly immersive and realistic experience. A navigator guides viewers around our virtual reality content while conveying the charm and stories behind various cultural assets from Japan and overseas.

  

• GALLERY

  This area introduces a wide variety of viewing experiences that utilize precise digital archive data recording actual colors and shapes of digital cultural assets. The gallery presents digital cultural assets in various forms, including an interactive viewing system linked to a large display.

  

• EXHIBITION ROOM

  This 110-square-meter exhibition space presents the latest projects on digital cultural assets. Some special exhibitions include immersive video projections from the floor to the walls and hypothetical digital reconstructions of lost cultural assets.
