Services Offered
The Marketing and Matching of Technology and Ideas
As we gather and arrange information on the ever-evolving field of ICT and other performance technologies, we build networks with creators and makers from each of those fields. We implement what we obtain into the planning and directing aspects of this network as we carefully match skills with the various needs of our customers.Planning, Direction and Total Produce
We provide planning and direction for exhibitions, experiences, and spatial production that incorporate highly advanced ICT and production technologies. We also implement all of our headquarters’ strengths to suggest the best ways to optimize the necessary technology and ideas into the spatial production process in response to the need of our clients. In other words, we offer total production in maximizing the value we add to space.Spatial Media Design
We design spatial media and content that incorporates technologies in highly advanced ways. Whether from zero, or based on the pre-existing designs of the facility in question, we provide rich design ideas that enhance CI/VI design, ad visuals, various forms of signage and web content — in other words, the crucial communication between event organizers and visitors, ultimately transforming the two-dimensional world into the three-dimensional. We even have CG specialists who provide our clients with easy to understand visual representations such as perspective drawings and walk-through movies using VR and MR technology.Technical Direction
Far beyond the use of just video, audio and lighting, we implement a wide range of technologies used in spatial media, from interactive digital technology to models, molding, mechanics, structure building, sensing, and other controlled technology. Through comprehensive technical direction, we bring spaces to life that incorporate a spectrum of staging techniques.Our Laboratory: Konan Lab “Mk_3”
Mk_3, abbreviated “Mark-three”, is a co-creation platform for pursuing the possibilities of space and technology and creating new value into the future.

We will continue to provide a place for end users and businesses to carry out their spatial production and spatial communication research and development and experiment with methods for best implementing their technology. We are committed to giving our users an always-new, high quality experience through the use of our lab.

Utilizing our entire production resources and efforts here at the CMI Headquarters, we’ve created moving experiences at various places, from commercial, entertainment and cultural facilities, to events and showrooms.
Hizen Saga Bakumatsu-Meiji Restoration Expo Bakumatsu-Meiji Restoration Memorial MuseumAn expo held to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Meiji Restoration. Based on the concept of “a bridge between history and the future,” we took visitors on an adventure through the story of Saga’s activities during the Meiji Restoration. From arousing interest, to understanding, empathizing, sharing and making them personal, we created an experience combining both digital and analog methods, and memories that will be passed on to the future.
YANMAR MUSEUM
A corporate museum with the theme of “challenge.” We recorded users scores from various work-related attractions on cards using a QR code, and created a system to encourage visitors to compete with each other and take on more challenges. The day’s scores are ranked and visitors can look back on them after leaving the facility, so that they may come back for more.
Sunshine City Fountain Plaza
In pursuit of visual production with dynamism, we synchronized a giant screen with a water fountain, music and lighting for a high-level performance that captivated visitors.
NISSAN CROSSING
We made full use of state of the art performance technology to create a facility that offered a new experience and insight into the relationships between cars, people and society.
BANDO KOBE SCIENCE MUSEUM “Time Hopper”
We have provided children with the opportunity to deepen their interest and sense of adventure for outer space through an attraction that offered a “floating” experience, an idea that had never previously been attempted in Japan.
TeNQ Space Museum
From the very beginning of the planning phase, we co-directed with our client the entire soft and hard aspects of this hands-on outer space museum.
