At Pretia we believe that “collaborative achievement” is how humans can attain the happiest moments in life. Our mission at Pretia is to spread AR technology to support human achievement. We aim for a world where we can create the possiblity of “collaborative achievement” with anyone, anywhere in the world. The AR platform 'Pretia' was released worldwide in ����, and we are continuing to evolve towards our goal of being used all over the world, starting in Japan. On the other hand, the AR market is still in it’s infancy, and we feel that it is largely in our own hands to give shape to what people want. We are looking forward to working with you in this field of AR, to help us fulfill our insatiable curiosity to "empower collaborative achievement" by making this world a more enjoyable, efficient, and convenient place. I still remember how excited I was when I first encountered augmented reality (AR) during my university years. I saw great potential in AR as a method to harness the power of digital technology to create physical experiences. My interest went to solving social tasks, and I started my own business with the theme of supporting local administration. I came into contact with many locals and heard their interest in wanting more young people to visit their local area. At the time, playgrounds such as bowling alleys and cafés for young people were disappearing rapidly in my area. I wondered, “instead of relying on physical facilities, could we use the power of AR to efficiently create completely new content?” At that time, AR, which uses the power of software to generate physical human flow, was combined with an awareness of social issues, leading to the current AR platform concept.

What we make 

13 Using technology for embedding AR content in space, an application de- velopment tool that embeds �D content in space that can be played by multiple people simultaneously is called ”AR Cloud”. It can also be used for industrial applications such as bringing realism to various types of play such as multiple-player games, dialogue with characters, solving riddles, etc., and activating communication facilitation in distant areas. What is “AR Cloud?” The development of the “AR Cloud” requires the use of spatial recogni- tion technology to refine self-position estimation and the training of machine learning algorithms to determine position and orientation in real time. To find people skilled in the field of computer vision that makes this possible, we began recruiting from around the world five years ago and are currently building a global R&D team. Our own R&D team from all over the world Our Core Technology Bringing global researchers together to create an “AR Cloud” with core spatial recognition algorithms.

How you grow 

All tech companies are going through a phase of "cre- ating an AR platform". Pretia believes that the value of the platform lies not only in the platform itself, but also in the "developer community" that is created from it. We hope that the community will inspire and give inspiration to the creation of great AR products. Working at Pretia means taking on the challenge of developing a technology platform that will be used around the world in the future. It also means that you will be able to experience on the front lines the development know-how and com- munity management with supporters around the world. You will create your own new value, not some- thing that already exists. It will be an irreplaceable experience. ※参考: “Asia-Pacific Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Market by Technology, Component, Device Type, Industry Vertical, End-user, and Country ����-����: Trend Forecast and Growth Opportunity” by Grace Market Data, ����年�月 Journey of Platform 22 2019 2026 �� billion yen Trends and forecasts for the Japanese AR software market Provide an experience of growing a technology platform used by creators around the world

The use of AR is not limited to entertainment: we will also promote the use of AR in the context of 'DX' for companies. We believe that promoting commercial use plays a role in bringing AR and the world even closer together. The Solution team may be the closest place to link the development of technology with social implementation. At Pretia, AR x SaaS will be the business driver in the medium term. We are still at the stage where we are thinking about new services, how to design products for launch and how to deliver value to customers, almost from scratch. Your experience at Pretia will provide you with comprehensive growth opportuni- ties, from launching a new business to building the organisation and growing the product. *����, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, DX Report - Overcoming the IT systems '���� cliff' and full-scale deployment of DX. *����, Fuji Chimera Research Institute, "Digital Transformation (DX) Domestic Market Research Results" *����, IDC Japan, "Forecast on global digital transformation spending" Journey of Solution 24 Provide opportunities to drive growth in businesses transforming industries Facts about DX If DX does not progress in Japan, economic losses of �� trillion JPY are predicted every year from ���� onwards (it is called '���� cliff').

Pretia Technologies is a team that aims to continue being the pioneer of the AR market in Japan and the world. The greatest value of AR is "unlocking human potential". For example, it can go beyond the limitations of physical abilities. It can continue to satisfy curiosity regardless of where the body is located. It can benefit from information and education without being confined to the country or environment of birth. Using AR technology, we aim to bring out both the spiritual and physical potential of people by not giving up the simple curiosity, passion, and imagination that people are born with. To achieve this dream, we are first excited to fight in this area. Would you like to become a stakeholder and a witness to history in the still developing AR market?
