VRChat comes to Tokyo for Vket Real!

22 July 2024

After multiple years of collaborations, VRChat makes an appearance for the first time, physically, at Vket Real.

What is VRChat showing off at Vket Real's Bellesalle Akihabara location?

VRChat's booth will be located in Bellesalle Akihabara for two days on August 3rd and 4th, and will offer a special VRChat experience. The real booth will be connected to the virtual world, allowing visitors to see inside the VRChat from the real side and from the virtual side. This "portal" experience will allow both real world and virtual world attendees to interact with one another!

MERCH

That's right! Official Collaborations Goods will be on sale at the venue! Always wanted to get your own Shirt, Acrylic Key Holder and or Sticker to celebrate VRChat and Virtual Market? Well now's your chance! We expect these items to sell fast so be sure to hit up the venues ASAP.

V Duel ~Takoyaki War!~ REALITY VS VIRTUAL

V Duel ~Takoyaki War!~ is a shooting stall-style competitive shooting game that allows users in the virtual space and participants in the real venue to play together. Real world players will enjoy this stall thanks to a “spatial reproduction display” that allows stereoscopic viewing with the naked eye.

Participants on the virtual side are tasked with collecting takoyaki balls, and participants on the real side attack participants on the virtual side who have come to collect the takoyaki.

This game can be participated in from both VRChat and Vket Realvenues and is free of charge. Three play tables will be set up at Bellesalle Akihabara and Namba Midosuji Hall (Osaka).

★BONUS★
Participants will receive a 3D model of a badge with the V Duel logo.

A few words from HIKKY

Yasushi Funakoshi, CEO, HIKKY

We have been contributing to the development of virtual space and avatar culture together with our fans and VRChat through Vket. Last year, we took that step into reality, and “Vket Real” was born with a lot of enthusiasm! We will be offering limited-edition merchandise and other items, so please be sure to welcome these items filled with virtual ⇆ real memories!”

I can remember as if it were only yesterday when I stood within the virtual world of VRChat for the first time, six years ago. I never thought that six years later we would go beyond the virtual dimension and hold a Vket in the real world, where we would also collaborate with VRChat! I hope to continue to work with VRChat and all the virtual users to create a future beyond our imagination!
