Mankind Games Co., Ltd. partnered with Kokuyo Co., Ltd. to develop and implement a Virtual Disaster Training System at Kokuyo's Tokyo Shinagawa office, 'THE CAMPUS'. Utilizing Unreal Engine and Unity, the system creates a high-precision 3D scan of the actual office space, allowing employees to experience realistic scenarios like smoke, power outages, and closed fire shutters. Designed to address challenges in the hybrid work era, such as fluctuating office attendance due to Activity Based Working, the system runs on standard Windows PCs and Meta Quest headsets. This ensures teleworking employees can participate in drills from anywhere. The system builds upon Mankind Games' previous 'Firefighting Activity Training VR' developed for the Tokyo Fire Department. Following a 3-month development period, a hybrid evacuation drill was held on May 28, 2026. The solution will also be showcased at the XR/Metaverse Comprehensive Exhibition Summer at Tokyo Big Sight from June 17 to 19, 2026.
