A video work by Shunsuke Eda, a second-year master's student in the Graduate School of Media and Governance and a member of Associate Professor Hajime Narukawa's laboratory at the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, has been selected for screening. The work will be featured in the projection mapping at the EXPO Hall "Shining Hat" and on the EXPO VISION at the EXPO Arena "Matsuri" at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan.
For the projection mapping on the outer wall of the EXPO Hall "Shining Hat," a global call was made for "works that express hope and visions for the future." From a total of 201 entries (93 from Japan and 108 from 34 countries and regions), 109 works were selected for screening after a rigorous review.
Mr. Eda's work is scheduled to be screened after sunset as part of Program B (May 13–June 12).
Additionally, for the EXPO VISION on the stage of the EXPO Arena "Matsuri," a call was made for works that "express or relate to the theme of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan: 'Designing Future Society for Our Lives,'" and Mr. Eda's work was selected.
The EXPO VISION will screen selected content from the submissions, along with introductory videos for official pavilions and other features.

Comment from Shunsuke Eda
I am deeply honored that the video work I created for my master's research will be screened on the international stage of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan. I am truly delighted to have this opportunity for visitors from all over the world to see it.
This work applies the projection method of the AuthaGraph world map to omnidirectional video, and this is the first time this technique will be publicly presented.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the selection committee members who chose my work, the team members both inside and outside the lab who were involved in its production, and to Professor Narukawa and the professors of the XD Program for their constant guidance.
I have not yet had the chance to see the work on-site, but I am very much looking forward to the screening at the venue. Please be sure to watch it if you visit.
