On the occasion of "SUMMER WARS OZ on VRoid powered by pixiv

Tomoo Shimizu, Producer of VRoid
The people in the movie "Summer Wars" fly around the virtual world of "OZ" in their unique avatars, unrestricted by the appearance of the real world, and enjoy their daily lives in a carefree manner.
OZ" is a dream for those involved in AR/VR today, and a guide for the future.
We are convinced that the "VRoid" services, which provide the experience that "everyone has a favorite character and can go anywhere and play anywhere," are indispensable for realizing such a future.
Ten years have passed since that summer, and we hope that through this project, in which VRoid will recreate the world of OZ, many people will be able to experience the possibilities of the future we have envisioned.
