I recalled "the city of Shibuya in 1964" that was booming at the Tokyo Olympics at the VR We are looking for pictures of those days!

The "1964 SHIBUYA VR" project to reproduce the Tokyo Olympic year "Shibuya's 1964 cityscape" in 3D was started. Currently, "General corporate corporation 1964 TOKYO" which operates the project is aimed at 3D conversion of town, and it is aimed at companies and individuals who own the photographs of "the city of Shibuya" around 1964, We started activities to seek cooperation.

Two of the incorporators, Toshio Tsuchiya of Nippon Television Network and Seiichi Saito, a representative of Rhizomatics. Mr. Saito who is driving a group of creators who have produced a number of works making full use of state-of-the-art technology such as Tsuchiya who has been engaged in popular programs such as "Advance! Radio Shonen" and Perfume (Perfume) live performance Just listening to that combination will make our expectations greatly expanded.

"General corporate corporation 1964 TOKYO" reproduces the "old townscape of Tokyo" with the virtual reality ("VR") by using the latest 3D technology "photogrammetry" from past old photos and images Established to promote the project to go. As its first step, the "1964 SHBUYA VR" project based on "Shibuya" was launched this time. The reason for choosing Shibuya is that "(Shibuya) is a city where energy gathers, with the redevelopment once in 100 years, high-rise buildings are built around the station by 2020, such as the city that draws attention from the world "(Tsuchiya san)," I hope to expect that "I reproduced the city at the time of the 1964 Olympics where I had the last Olympic Games and it is fun to compare with the present."

At the press conference held on October 25 in Shibuya Hikarie , special supporting members Shinichi Enomoto, President TOKYU CORPORATION Corporation, President Nobuhiro Nomoto, and Takeo Hasebe also headed for a strong ale for the success of the project. .
Image modeled 3D modeling of Shibuya station east exit area around Tokyu Cultural Center
Prior to the start of the project, with the cooperation of TOKYU CORPORATION and Shibuya-ku, collected a total of more than 800 photographs and aerial photos of the city at that time. Based on multiple photographs taken around Shibuya Station East Exit and Miyamasuzaka where Tokyu Bunka Kaikan (now Shibuya Hikarie ) is located, trial production of 3D modeling was carried out. The cityscape has been beautifully revealed as a 3D model image. About 12, 13 photos are used in the above. At the venue, a demonstration was made to rotate 360 degrees, but when the photo turned to the rear, the clear 3D photo had a drastic drop in resolution as it melted away.
The area where the photo data is small, the resolution is unclear and the building looks stinky
Mr. Saito said, "Many photographs provided by Tokyu were taken from the Tokyu headquarters in the direction of Miyasumasaka, and there are few pictures of Miyasumasaka in the direction of the station from the top, so because of lack of photograph data It will be unclear if you turn around. In future, to increase the resolution, you need a picture taken with more viewpoints "and challenges for 3Dization," Individuals have photos such as sleeping in closet I want to widely recruit the photographs of that time, "inviting the general public for the provision of photos.
Photos are available on a dedicated website (http://1964tokyo-vr.orgI am doing from
Currently, in the project, the concept of "Time Machine to Make with People" is a concept, recruiting photographs of Shibuya, which individuals took about 10 years before and after 1964, from a dedicated website. After scanning the photos, upload them from the submission form along with information on shooting place, age, memories and so on. In addition to web posting, you can also accept by mail. The name of the collaborator (nickname allowed) is credited to the dedicated website.

"Shibuya VR" works will be uploaded to the web at any time, and the whole of Tokyo will be converted to VR by 2020, after which it will be expanded to areas other than Tokyo and around the world.

"November 4th and 5th will be held at Yoyogi Park"Kumin Square Furusato Shibuya Festival 2017We also exhibited photo collection booths. If you take a photo to the venue, the staff will scan it one after another. Why do not you join the "1964 SHIBUYA VR" project if you have a picture of the old Shibuya city.
