Award winner's comments

I have submitted this work to SIGGRAPH and SIGGRAPH Asia for 4 years since 2020, but it was not accepted by the Art Gallery 5 times. Nevertheless, I strongly wanted to exhibit this work at SIGGRAPH Asia in Tokyo. Therefore, I challenged to submit it to the XR Demo section before submitting my doctoral thesis, and it was successfully accepted by XR Demo on my sixth attempt.Though this work was considerably upgraded at the SIGGRAPH Asia exhibition, I would like to imagine the next version and strive to make this work available to the public again.

During the submission process, I had to work side by side with my doctoral thesis, which was 380 pages long, and I still think that I did hard work for submission, including video production.

I feel as if the goddess of SIGGRAPH smiled at me and rewarded me for all the hard work I have put in over the years. I could never have done this on my own. I am truly grateful to my teammates who worked with me at full power.
