Cluster Inc. and Osaka Electro-Communication University have released a virtual campus called "Osaka Electro-Communication University Meta Campus" on the cluster metaverse platform. An unveiling event will be held on June 7, 2026, at the real Shijonawate Campus and inside the virtual venue, featuring guests including NON STYLE's Yusuke Inoue, Hirona Nagahama, and streamers from Takadamamura.
The virtual campus compresses both the Neyagawa and Shijonawate campuses into a single main area, adds two JIAMS studios, and includes the rooftop observation area Terrace OECU. Original games designed to teach users about the university are already built into the space. A preliminary event called the OECU Meta Cafe has been running twice a month on Saturdays and is described as well-received.
The June 7 unveiling event runs from 10:30 AM to 11:40 AM at Konami Hall on the Shijonawate Campus and simultaneously in the cluster app. Guests include M-1 Grand Prix 2008 champion Yusuke Inoue, influencer Hirona Nagahama, Takadamamura leader Takeshi Takada, and streamer Fujimiya. No advance registration is required for the virtual venue.
