The “Digital Entertainment City Namba” will be the world’s first smart city integrating AI, XR and DePIN. Mawari will deploy edge computing and rendering devices across Nankai’s properties for decentralized streaming. Nankai Electric Railway rail network spans over 100 stations across multiple lines in Japan. In a groundbreaking collaboration, Mawari, a leader in spatial computing and decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), has partnered with Nankai Electric Railway Co., Ltd., Meta Osaka Co., Ltd., and e-stadium Co., Ltd. to create the “Digital Entertainment City Namba.” This ambitious urban development project, set to unfold in Osaka, Japan, promises to be the world’s first fully integrated ecosystem combining artificial intelligence (AI), extended reality (XR), and DePIN technologies at a city-wide scale. The partnership brings together complementary strengths. Meta Osaka contributes strategic innovation and localized expertise, ensuring the project aligns with the region’s unique cultural and economic fabric. On the other hand, e-stadium, a Nankai Group company, leverages its focus on e-sports and community engagement to address social challenges and foster a thriving digital culture. Together, these organizations are laying the groundwork for a smart city that integrates advanced technology with everyday life.
