Much of research is highly specialized, making it challenging for those without background knowledge to fully understand. By using 360° video, we introduced research as an immersive landscape rather than through its meaning, aiming to make it accessible to companies, prospective students, and local residents alike. Additionally, 360° cameras are simpler to operate compared to standard cameras: setting the camera, adjusting brightness and color, and pressing the record button is all that’s required. Adopting 360° technology has enabled in-house video production, significantly reducing production costs while maintaining quality.
Katsura Garden adopted no-code development to build a database at a low cost. With a focus on long-term operation, this approach enables reduced maintenance costs and swift updates.
As part of the Katsura Garden project, pilot implementations and experiments conducted at Kyoto University's Katsura Campus were recorded. The 2D video captures not only the research content but also the researchers' underlying aspirations, producing a documentary that showcases the daily advancements at Techno-Science Hill.
