Supporting Smart Agriculture Education: Launch of "Introduction to Smart Agriculture and Landscape Design in 3D" for Agricultural High Schools

MegaSoft Inc. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director: Yoshiaki Imachi; hereinafter "MegaSoft"), which advocates for the everyday use of 3D/VR/Metaverse in architectural, interior, and equipment proposals, announces that it will release the educational material "Introduction to Smart Agriculture and Landscape Design in 3D" (https://www.megasoft.co.jp/school/farm-landscape/) specifically for agricultural high schools in late 2026 to support smart agriculture education.

Prior to its release, we are recruiting monitor schools. We will provide this educational material free of charge to a limited of 3 schools for 3 years, and we will feature them as user examples on the MegaSoft product page.

"Introduction to Smart Agriculture and Landscape Design in 3D" - Educational Material for Agricultural High Schools

Background

With a projected decrease in agricultural workers, smart agriculture is gaining attention to achieve sustainable agricultural development and stable food supply. The promotion of smart agriculture, which utilizes cutting-edge technologies such as robots, AI, and IoT, is a national policy, and human resource development is required. Therefore, it has become necessary to enhance opportunities to learn about smart agriculture in agricultural universities and high schools that nurture the next generation of agricultural professionals.

Motivation for Development

One of the triggers for the development of this educational material was the use of "3D My Home Designer" by an agricultural high school for learning landscape design. Recognizing the creative and innovative ways it was being used in an educational setting, we listened to their feedback and strongly felt the need to support educational sites learning about smart agriculture. Thus, we began the development of "Introduction to Smart Agriculture and Landscape Design in 3D," with a planned release in late 2026.

Comments

Yoshiaki Imachi, President and Representative Director of MegaSoft

As the country promotes smart agriculture education, educational sites are increasingly demanding enhanced learning experiences utilizing digital technology. However, the practical environment for this is still developing, and the provision of teaching materials and tools that are easy for educational institutions to adopt is also a significant challenge. MegaSoft has always prioritized ease of use and implementation in its software development. "Introduction to Smart Agriculture and Landscape Design in 3D" aims to enable agricultural high school teachers and students to intuitively learn farm and landscape planning using 3D, achieving an affordable price point and user-friendly operation compared to highly specialized software.

This educational material has been developed with input from teachers in the educational field. We will continue to strive to create teaching materials that are closely aligned with the needs of educational sites, incorporating feedback from the monitor schools we are currently recruiting.
