Overview of the GENCHI Bunshin Service 

“GENCHI” is a platform for sharing remote experiences (sight,  hearing, and touch) where users can experience the action of moving around while still enjoying online services. It is a platform that seeks cooperation from local resources (people and robot owners) for a fee. 

t is also called a real-life version of the Metaverse, bringing the Internet into the real world. Users can participate through their browsers and enjoy the real environment. Those who have  experienced it have sometimes expressed it as “the same as doing it.” In order to recreate the feeling of actually being there, the company needed to develop a system that goes beyond TV conference systems.

Toraru aims to realize a future where people are freed from “movement” and “location” through human augmentation technology that utilizes the five senses.
