2019.09.12

ボンズカジノ 仮想通貨, Inc. (TSE first section: 4819; HQ: Tokyo; Representative Director, President Executive Officer and Group CEO: Kaoru Hayashi; DG) and KDDI CORPORATION (TSE first section: 9433; HQ: Tokyo; President, Representative Director: Makoto Takahashi; KDDI) will conduct a digital transformation (DX) proof of concept in utilizing Augmented Reality (AR) and Visual Positioning Service (VPS)*1 technology on September 21, 2019,
looking toward the coming fifth-generation communication technology (5G) era. The developed smartphone app can realize the DX which overlays digital information about Shibuya onto the area’s actual scenery.

The application for the ボンズカジノ 仮想通貨 project was designed by DG Lab, an R&D organization operated by four companies: DG; KDDI; Kakaku.com, Inc. (TSE first section: 2371; HQ: Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Shonosuke Hata; Kakaku.com); and Credit Saison Co., Ltd. (TSE first section: 8253; HQ: Tokyo; Chairman and CEO: Hiroshi Rinno; Credit Saison). It is equipped with a function to suggest optimal routes to facilities and landmarks in line with individual preferences. The app considers the final arrival time and time required at each point to automatically display routes matching the user’s mood. App users can find a restaurant information of Tabelog (https://tabelog.com/en/), a restaurant search and reservation site operated by Kakaku.com, in looking at the scenery integrated with AR on the app screen. It allows users to easily find restaurants based on their preferences.
