Cluster, Inc. announced on October 14 that it built a 3D virtual space for a municipal project supporting children who do not attend school. The space includes a Cheer button for sending reactions without speaking, staff tools for tracking where children spend time, and an Education Agency Floor with club rooms. Deloitte Tohmatsu was commissioned for the project. Token ward and city names were not disclosed.
Cluster, Inc. handled planning, design, communication features, and operational support for the space, which was commissioned to Deloitte Tohmatsu LLC. Staff can see where children spend time and offer support at each child's pace. The Education Agency Floor connects children across municipal boundaries, and club rooms group them by shared hobbies. The announcement did not name the municipal governments involved. Tokyo's Virtual Learning Platform, also commissioned to Deloitte Tohmatsu, lists an Education Agency Floor under the same name.
