About KAJIMA DX LABO
KAJIMA DX LABO, a facility located on the right bank side of the Naruse Dam casting construction site
where visitors can experience the future of civil engineering, was closed at the end of October 2024.
From now on, please enjoy KAJIMA DX LABO as an on-line museum.
KAJIMA DX LABO opened in October 2020 as a tour facility where visitors can observe and learn about Kajima's vision for the future of civil engineering. It includes an overview of Kajima’s A4CSEL system technology, and the Naruse Dam Construction Project itself. Using AR (augmented reality) tablets, visitors can experience this vision through the diorama, panel, and outdoor field museum observation deck exhibitions. By the end of October 2024, more than 10,000 visitors had visited.
The first floor of the facility is for guided tours, and the second floor is the A4CSEL IT Pilot control room.
Characteristic 1
Augmented Reality (AR) Experience
By using a tablet device to hover over the specially programmed diorama and informational panels featured in the exhibition, this tour allows you to virtually witness and learn about our latest construction technologies through an AR experience.
AR is also incorporated into the outdoor observation deck part of the tour, where visitors will point their tablet device toward the construction site to view an AR architectural rendering of Naruse Dam upon completion.
Characteristic 2
A Facility of Various Experiences
The LABO facility is equipped with a diorama, informational panels, and a field museum. Visitors can learn about a variety of topics such as the “A4CSEL” system that links multiple automated heavy machinery units with an optimal construction management system that incorporates AI technology, the various cutting-edge technologies being used on our construction site, and the objectives of Naruse Dam through the AR images that appear on the informational panels.
Characteristic 3
Outdoor Observation Deck
From the observation deck “Field Museum,” you can get a close-up view of the dam body, which is getting higher and higher every day.
The completed Naruse Dam can also be viewed through AR, so please enjoy the image of the water release after completion by superimposing AR.
