KAYAC created XM-Profiler, the world's first physical on-street Ingress Portal, as a part of collaboration between Itoen and Ingress, a positional-information-based game that users play by walking around real cities.
The aim of Ingress is to find places called Portals, create links between them, and secure a field. KAYAC installed XM-Profiler next to Itoen's disaster-relief vending machine, along with Itoen's event to make it available as Portal.
When Ingress users attack and add Resonators and Mods, information is immediately visualized with the realistic image and sound of the world of Ingress. In addition to the UI and rendering, KAYAC creatively designed the futuristic body of XM-Profiler.
The first machine is now in operation at Odaiba Palette Town.
