"Thank you for sharing your world," a VR short animation that has been highly reviewed by many international film festivals and famous artists for its unique VR presentation, is finally available worldwide!

The VR film aims to express the world as seen by a blind boy. Inspired by an interview with a blind man who said, "Blind people actually live in a colorful and imaginative world," we created an original story and realized a beautiful world that is expanded by the imagination of the blind boy through CG animation and interaction.

Synopsis

Takashi lost his eyesight in grade school. Though he can recreate the world in his mind, he begins losing interest and is left with few things to enjoy. He has a friend, Shinji, who is autistic. One day, Shinji invites him to a steam locomotive ceremony. Due to some reasons, Takashi gets into a fight with Shinji, and they go their separate ways. After looking for him, Takashi falls into a gloomy state of mind. With people’s support, Takashi finally finds Shinji at the ceremony. With the train passing by, Shinji’s voice brings him back to the world and Takashi learns how to enjoy the world with his imagination.
