Over the course of three days during the exhibition, a spectacular display took place in which people painted pictures in space using the Apple Vision Pro “Spatial Paint” application. Emi Sekiguchi's vivid painting based on local Moroccan culture has won praise from African visitors.

Hololab will continue to expand the world of spatial computing made possible by Apple Vision Pro in different areas.

Comment from Amy Sekiguchi

Drawing with hand gestures is like magic that has yet to be seen, yet can be conveyed intuitively across linguistic and cultural barriers. I was so happy because it seemed to resonate with so many people.

Comments from Hololab engineer Akihiro who provided on-site support

The experience combining art and technology was very interesting in Morocco. I realize once again the power of experiences that allow us to share feelings even if we speak different languages.
