AttendMe to Bring NFC and AR Card SHIGLIA to Oshikatsu Expo
AttendMe is pitching SHIGLIA's mechanism to IP holders as a way to add a digital layer to physical merchandise, and the expo booth is aimed at the licensing and retail side rather than at fans directly.
Reporting from 1 source: PANORA.
AttendMe Inc. will exhibit SHIGLIA, an NFC and AR card that shows a character on a smartphone screen when the phone is held over it, at the 6th Oshikatsu EXPO Autumn at Tokyo Big Sight from October 7 to 9, 2026. AR launches in the browser, so no app download is needed. AttendMe also shows MELOKEY, a CD-type acrylic keychain that plays songs when scanned.
AttendMe frames SHIGLIA as an "experiential" good rather than a display item, arguing that acrylic stands are made to be looked at while a card is made to be held and scanned. The mechanism is not limited to cards: the company says it can be built into goods, books, and packaging, and it is at the booth looking for sales agents and business partners. AttendMe also operates TaPrize, an online lottery for creator goods.
