Creative studio Ourai handled planning and production for the immersive VR experience "VR Dinosaur: Don't Let the Tyranno Find You! Triceratops Rescue Mission," launching August 20, 2026, at 13:00 on the 7th floor of Aruaru City in Kitakyushu. The roughly 10-minute walk-through adventure is supervised by paleontologist Akihiko Shibahara and features a baby Triceratops named Trill searching for her mother Maya Mama while avoiding a Tyrannosaurus.
Ourai, a Tokyo-based creative studio that uses VR and XR technology for corporate marketing, planned and produced the experience for APAMAN Co., Ltd. The content drops participants into the Late Cretaceous period, where they walk on their own feet through a forest while a baby Triceratops named Trill searches for her mother, Maya Mama.
Paleontologist and Doctor of Science Akihiko Shibahara supervised the project, which combines paleontological knowledge with VR and acoustic effects. The experience uses visual and sound cues, such as approaching footsteps, to build tension as a Tyrannosaurus moves through the forest. The official website is now live at vrkyoryu.com.
