iHistory to Run Kyoto Life Demo on Apple Vision Pro at Tokyo Forum
The event turns a map app into a migration pitch, testing whether an immersive first-person view of everyday Kyoto shifts how participants weigh settling there, with surveys before and after the session as a condition of taking part.

iHistory Inc. will hold a spatial computing experience event on September 13, 2026, at Tokyo International Forum, running alongside the Furusato Kaiki Fair 2026. The demo uses the Apple Vision Pro app PointMap+Life (alpha Ver.2) under the theme "Living in Kyoto," presented as a demonstration experiment with cooperation from Kyoto City. Participation is free with advance application priority and about 20 minutes per person.
The session runs 10:00 to 16:00 in Meeting Room G504 on the fifth floor of the Glass Building at Tokyo International Forum in Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, with slots of roughly 20 minutes per person, about 15 of them inside the headset. Attendance is free, advance applications take priority, and a lottery decides the slots if sign-ups exceed capacity, though same-day walk-ins are accepted at the venue.
The content centers on spatial video of family streets, renovated machiya townhouses, local shopping streets and parks, viewed from the perspective of a resident rather than a tourist. Answers to surveys before and after the experience are required to take part.
