The purpose of this subsidy is to build an ecosystem for the sustainable development of the content industry by promoting the development and demonstration of systems that contribute to the efficiency of the content production process (including the distribution process), and by improving the productivity of content production from the perspective of the entire supply chain.

"AROW" is a game developer support tool that utilizes 3D data and POI data, making it easy to develop AR applications by applying the game's worldview and other elements to a 3D map linked to actual location information. Currently, we are continuing to develop the service with the aim of commercializing it during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.

With the adoption of this subsidy, we will continue to develop the software to contribute to the improvement of productivity in content production, which is the purpose of the subsidy.
