On the first day of Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2017, DMM announced a surprise Touken Ranbu (刀剣乱舞) AR adventure for visitors. Many saniwa arrived to take their favourite swords home.
The AR experience is simple and short. All participants have to install ARAPPLI, an AR application that allows them to scan the characters displayed on the TV screen at DMM’s booth. The guys will come out within a few seconds in the way they appear in the game, and they can be positioned at anywhere on the mobile screen. Once another character is scanned, the previous one will be gone.
67 swords will be at the booth at different timeslot. Interested visitors should arrive 20 minutes earlier to secure a place. The AR experience is made exclusively for TGS, which means it will not be available as a spin-off permanently after 24th September.
