Meanwhile, in just two weeks after release, it surpassed one million people. "Theatrical version Sword Art · Online Ordinal Scale (theatrical version SAO)" set in the game of the near future is a big topic. I'm excited about the near future!
VIRTUAL REALITY (VIRTUAL REALITY, hereinafter referred to as "VR") which is used for games and experiential attractions, and is becoming a topic of something.
The stage of the story is 2022. A VR machine capable of full sensation immersion is developed and the story begins when the leading character Kirito and heroine login to the game "SAO".
Together with the words of "SAO" game developers, 10,000 players are obstructed in the virtual space, and they are involved in a terrible death game "Death in Game = Death in Reality". This "Theater version SAO" is a story that Mr. Kawahara wrote completely in original world of 2026 when such series of cases were solved.
In this work, instead of all sensory immersion type VR, we used "ARGARMER" using AR technology, equipment to wear to the ear. In the AR game, real sceneries such as Harajuku and Akihabara become games, so I feel a more exciting future.
