Shibuya Mirai Design and KDDI held the participatory XR art event "SHIBUYA XR ART PARK" on July 15, 2026, at MIYASHITA PARK. About 30 people joined artist Manabu Morita and Tokyo Designplex Institute students in painting a shared AR canvas over the park's arch. A post-event survey found 100% of participants rated the experience 4 or higher on a 5-point scale for wanting to try it again.
The event ran from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the north lawn of Miyashita Park, with the park's arch serving as a giant AR canvas. Artist Manabu Morita and students from Tokyo Designplex Institute performed live painting while visitors joined in through their smartphones, drawing into the same AR space.
Drawings were integrated in the cloud in real time and fixed to the physical space using VPS, then distributed to multiple devices over 5G millimeter-wave. The survey also showed 87.5% rated the AR painting experience 4 or higher, and 75% found the shared multi-user drawing interesting.
