Summary
Eight young XR creators each built a 5 to 7 minute LBE (Location-Based Entertainment) VR piece, and this session opens all eight to the public as prototypes. Visitors pick 3 to 5 works to try, with 6 to 10 people per piece and free rotation on the day. The venue is the 1F PARK area of Tokyo Innovation Base in Marunouchi. Doors open at 13:00, the opening runs from 13:15, the hands-on block runs 13:30 to 15:45 with works swapped every 15 minutes, and closing starts at 15:45. Entry is free, nothing needs to be brought, and capacity is 20 people. The event is organized by Iwaken Lab., co-hosted by TIB FAB, with technical support from STYLY. Anyone curious about LBE content can attend. A TIB membership QR code is required at the door, so registering in advance through the TIB app is necessary.
About the community

A gathering where young XR creators bring their own work and hand it directly to visitors to try. Attendees are not only developers and industry people: anyone curious about VR and other location-based experience formats is welcome. The format is closer to an open prototype test than a finished-work showcase, with creators watching reactions in the room and carrying feedback back into their next build. Sessions run irregularly under a fabrication and making program hosted at a startup hub in Marunouchi.
