▼ "THE FUTURE ~Let's Draw the Future of Tokyo and Mobility~"
The protagonists of the future mobility society are the people who will actually use the mobility. "The FUTURE" categorizes the elements that will constitute the future mobility society into six directions (Social good, Universal, Move, Drive, Private, Share). Through questions posed to participants, this interactive exhibit projects the desired future onto the vast dome, which can accommodate 300 people at once. What role will future cars play in our future lives and society? And what future will the collected data reveal for the streets and mobility of Tokyo? This program offers a dynamic experience through two modes: simulation and graphics.

▼ "THE MAZE ~Break Through the Urban Labyrinth~"
What value is brought when mobility, drivers, and the city are connected? This network-based VR experience content allows participants to board a connected car and solve a game-like challenge set in a maze representing future Tokyo. Using 30 interconnected "PlayStation®VR" (Note 1) systems, participants drive simultaneously on the same field. They must share the information gathered to navigate the maze and reach the goal. Through various connected experiences within the city, this program offers a test drive of the possibilities of future cars.
