It is important to commercialize some of the results of research, implement them in society, and use the results to fund research again. In order to carry out this cycle in the field of earth science, we have established a venture company called "Research Institute for Earth Science Visualization Technology Co., Ltd. in 2016.
In 2020, in order to overcome the situation where various museums and schools will be closed due to the spread of the new coronavirus, we have created an online and VR environment, including the “VR Dinosaur Symposium”. In addition, in April 2020, our venture company and the Institute of Dinosaur Research (Fukui Prefectural University) established the Dinotech Lab, which is developing technology with a particular focus on disseminating the results of paleontology. In this presentation, we will discuss how to develop the technology in 2022. In this presentation, we will report on our latest status in 2022.
