HADO Showcased at MEXT Event for Kids in Tokyo!

HADO, the physical AR sport, made an exciting appearance at the annual “Children’s Kasumigaseki Tour Day,” hosted by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).
An Interactive Event for Children
“Children’s Kasumigaseki Tour Day” is an annual event that gives children the opportunity to visit government offices and learn about the work of the Japanese government through a variety of interactive and educational programs.
The event features activities across a wide range of fields, including science, culture, and sports, allowing children to discover new interests through hands-on experiences.
HADO Featured at the Sports Booth
This year, HADO was featured at the sports booth, where children had the opportunity to experience an AR sport that combines physical movement with digital gameplay.
Participants put on AR head-mounted displays and arm sensors before stepping into the HADO field. Once the game began, they worked together with their teammates to dodge incoming energy balls and launch their own attacks.
Experiencing a New Kind of Sport
By combining physical movement with AR technology, HADO offers an experience that brings together the excitement of digital gameplay and the enjoyment of physical activity.
For many of the children, the experience provided an opportunity to discover a new way to play, move, and communicate with teammates.
Through opportunities like this, HADO continues to introduce children to new possibilities at the intersection of sports and technology, while encouraging them to enjoy being active.
