Using the stereo display function and VR headset, you can experience immersive feeling as if you were in a remote place.
(*1) Also possible to connect directly as an access point mode

Omni Wheel

Omni wheel allows you to move in all directions without having to turn in the direction of travel. When you press the forward button of the smartphone, the vehicle moves forward in the direction you are looking at. Piloting is intuitive.
* Please use it in a flat place with no step

Laser Pointer

The ground walker has a laser pointer that moves in conjunction with the direction you are looking at and you can play with a pet such as a cat at home remotely.
In the future, we are also considering development of fighting function using laser.
* Because a weak laser is used, the eyes are safe if you do not see them continuously
