“I saw a room full of stars!!!” says one of the patients.

TOKYO-Cluster, Inc., the largest metaverse platform in Japan with over 35 million participants, collaborated with Associate Professor Hasei from the Department of Medical Information and Supporting Technology Development, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dental and Pharmaceutical Sciences (Department of Orthopedics) to realize a virtual space that helps alleviate the feeling of loneliness among patients.
