With less than a year to go until the Expo, events aimed at a range of age groups were held across the country this summer.

The Diverse Universe team exhibited at an event called "EXPO Mirai School Festival 250 Days Before the Opening," held at the Osaka International Convention Center on August 8, 2024, where many visitors enjoyed their product, which is currently being continuously refined.

Our main VR product, "Starry Sky Fudoki," received many wonderful reactions from people who tried it out, squirming in excitement at the planetarium-like scenery that unfolded before their eyes as soon as they sat in a chair and put on the VR goggles, exclaiming, "Wow! It's amazing!"

This was a valuable opportunity for visitors to actually touch and feel various physical products whose appeal is difficult to convey through images, such as the continually improved "constellation Guide" and the Diverse Universe-themed manga series.

The venue was filled with a wide variety of exhibits, including booths from students, mainly high school students, and private companies, and coupled with stage performances by celebrity guests, it felt like we were able to promote the Expo to a wider range of people, conveying their excitement for the event.

Going forward, the Diverse Universe team hopes to continue to co-create the future by expressing constellation, which have been viewed in various ways depending on the era, country, and culture, in a common format, with a concept of "learning diversity through the starry sky."
