Ear SPORTS | 33 Production

“Ears” are not organs just for hearing. Our everyday lives are supported by our ears in everything from sense of balance to awareness of acceleration and spatial perception. By synchronizing “ears” – people’s sensors – with mechanical sensors, “ear interfacing” has been realized and the organization “33 Production (Ear Production)” was formed to update everyday life.

For the first round of the project, the online sports “Ear SPORTS” were developed, in which people compete making full use of the abilities of their ears. Three games, the “1 Sec. Run”, “DARUMASAN-GA KORONDA・NEO (Red Light, Green Light NEO)” and “Invisible Boxing” were released. At the test event held in June 2021, diverse players joined in remotely from all over the world including Tokyo, Hyogo and New York, and the first world champion was inaugurated.
