New experience of Sports × Art Digital Fusion, NAKED SPOREV. I felt it myself.

NAKED,INC. A creative company that uses digital technology, art, design, etc. To create new value. (hereinafter referred to as Nekid) the implementation of the "NAKED SPOREV." (Ned Spurevo) "experienced it. It seems a little difficult to hear the theme of "sports" and "art" brought about by advanced technology, but it is more like an entertainment facility that anyone can easily enjoy than evidence. This time, you can get a glimpse of the new axle movement fun way of the NAKED SPOREV. I'd like to introduce you.

Art makes me fly higher.

ネイキッドは、花の体感型アート「FLOWERS BY NAKED」や、AIで音楽体験を生み出す「HUMANOID DJ」、"サウナ"をアート体験にしてしまうという「NAKED SAUNA & SPA」などを代表作に、変わったところではレストランでの食事体験をまるごとアートにしてしまう「TREE by NAKED」の店舗運営まで行うユニークな企業だ。壮大な3Dプロジェクションマッピングで東京タワーにタンポポを咲かせ、その綿毛を平和の祈りとともに世界中へと飛ばした「Breath / Bless Project」では、アートの力で世の中を変えたいという同社の想いも感じることができる。

That Negid's "NAKED SPOREV." actually experienced what happened in April this year, and the stage of the experience was the newly opened landmark "MIYASHITA PARK" in Tokyo's Shibuya district. Shibuya, which is also home to Negeid, is an area with a strong impression of the stronghold of the science and technology department led by Google Japan. In this attempt, it has received assistance from the policy of self-government health promotion and sports tourism, NAKED SPOREV. It's perfect for making an appearance, too. The site itself, the former site of the so-called Old Miyazhita Park, may be easier to remember, including the surrounding atmosphere.

On the same day, starting from HI TECH PHYSICAL TEST, I experienced three works that can take jumping force, strength and explosive power as the art.

When standing in the center of a stage surrounded by walls with built-in camera sensors and projectors, information containing the physique of the experiencer is read and personalized, which is reflected in real-time image performances and the like in subsequent content. The stage is brightly decorated by holographic projection, promoting a challenging mood. Therefore, the actual challenge is vertical jumping, muscle strength measurement, and repeated horizontal jumping, which complement the support voice of the gallery. In the experience, I always feel "Agaru" and always find the mood of "I can do it" very interesting. In fact, the author's mood exceeded the body, and the next day he suffered a serious injury because of muscle pain.

In the aspect of jumping force, the vertical jump is carried out under the promotion of music and image, and the rapid flying art image of the eagle is generated based on the scanned physical data and jump results. In terms of strength comparison, the muscle strength is measured by holding the wall with the hand and stuffing it with the whole body, but the result is made into an artistic image of rhinos and gorillas. Music and video are wonderfully emotional, making people feel like they want to keep recordings over and over again. In this way, muscle pain will not wait, while regretting lack of exercise, it will also evoke a more positive attitude towards exercise.

Regardless of generations, people who are not good at sports can have access to sports skills.

The company interpreted the move as "a project that allows even people who are not good at sports to enjoy physical activity and associate them with their health, regardless of generation." To tell you the truth, repeated horizontal jump and vertical jump is not a happy thing, so physical activity has been measured since the student days? But NAKED SPOREV. Well, I can enjoy that it can cause severe muscle pain. Jump over and over again, and truly evolve into a whole new experience in art and technology.

It was NAKED SPOREV who asked the director of the case, Mr. Weitou Ichiro of Negid, if he could turn the obstacle of starting a movement into the idea of appreciating the work. Explain to me that there is a connection. Indeed, the introduction of health promotion benefits in enterprises, even school sports, if introduced, should be able to reduce the number of children who are not good at it.

The project itself is said to be around 2014, and now is the time to do so. The Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games are planned, and this will not be the case at a time when there is a higher opportunity to promote sports. even if not, the health of aging will become a growing theme, and it is also a particularly worried atmosphere of health because of the coronal disaster. And, "what Negid wants to show is the same technology that can't be done in 2014," is also NAKED SPOREV at this time. That's why it came out.

NAKED SPOREV. It consists of a variety of digital technologies. In the field, the projector for projection mapping and the workstation for processing the data are placed in a 3D camera for reading the information of the experiencer. The personal physical data obtained through the experience is stored in the cloud and can also be fed back to the experiencer for better exercise advice.

Workstations are the livers that generate such two-way content in real time. In this experience, several commercial PC workstations are prepared next to the stage, which are implemented in a less exaggerated environment. Stage walls and other furniture, although relatively large, but if concentrated on the hardware of this scale, it can also be directly set in other places.

In fact, this time NAKED SPOREV. The experience was participated through the introduction of mouse computers from PC manufacturers, but it was the fate of the company that provided this PC workstation. Specifically, the company's DAIV series of commercial products for creators, the Intel Core CPU runs a combination of NVIDIA GPU desktops and notebooks, a total of seven. The person in charge of the mouse computer appealed: "because you can listen to the request and make suggestions according to the use, if you have any equipment difficulties, please let me know first."

According to Negid's technical director and programmer Hirohei Ono, NAKED SPOREV. So, although special attention is paid to the real-time processing of GPU, CPU power is also necessary in image processing, such as CPU in music, which plays a different role in each PC. The DAIV series with the characteristics that can be flexibly customized according to the function is a very convenient evaluation. Moreover, although we do not see the goal of the final necessary specifications in the development phase, we do not want to limit the extent of the restriction on the performance of the specifications. in this case, the DAIV series, which is easy to "flourish" with customized specifications, is saved from this point of view.

Daily health promotion and professional exercise, also look forward to application

This NAKED SPOREV. However, I do feel the joy of physical activity, and I think it's a great trial project. What about the possibility of spreading more in society, not only for a limited demonstration like this one? The aforementioned director, Wei Teng, said: "We are considering developing in different directions, especially in the context of health and education. I want to add some more content and take it to school, too. "

This time, I experienced the "HI TECH PHYSICAL TEST" of physical measurement, not only physical fitness measurement, but also basketball, baseball, football and sports ambition.

Wei Teng said: "the more first-class it is, the more beautiful its movements will be." Facing the future, there is also the idea that the player's technical height can be expressed with the beauty of art. The acquisition and accumulation of sensor data is NAKED SPOREV. It is considered to be the foundation. The beauty and coolness generated from digital data is not only the entrance to the fun of moving the body, but may also cover the fields of high training and sports science. In this way, the author feels "so happy", which is completely different from sports.
