In addition to Macnica, THXLAB, and Sustainable Pavilion 2025, Yoichi Ochiai's Mirrored Body® also participated online in this session, along with NEC ^{* 1}, which provides facial recognition and DID/VC technologies for "Mirrored Body®," which can be experienced at the Osaka-Kansai Expo's signature pavilion, "null2 (https://expo2025.digitalnatureandarts.or.jp/)." As the Sustainable Pavilion team, they discussed a vision for a society in which individuals regain data sovereignty through AI and Web3, with "Mirrored Body®" as the central theme.

"Mirrored Body®," a service app that allows you to be another version of yourself, is gaining more users at a rate of more than 30,000 per month. By registering your information and voice, you can create a dedicated AI avatar. This app is one of the featured contents of the null2 Pavilion produced by Yoichi Ochiai at EXPO2025. When you connect the "Mirrored Body®" app to the null2 Pavilion, a random visitor will be incorporated into the performance, and this alter-ego will appear in the theater at the venue, speaking to you in a voice and words that sound like your own through AI. It has attracted a lot of attention as an unknown experience that presents a future in which your real self and your digital self coexist.
The "Mirrored Body®," your avatar, comes in two types, 2D and 3D, and both can be registered. Each "Mirrored Body®" is securely stored on the blockchain as an NFT, and a variety of experiences are provided based on this.
In the future, Mirrored Body® will visualize various personal data such as health checkups, food records, and SNS posts, and the AI will be able to make suggestions to you, making it possible to have an experience that feels like a conversation with "another self." You can also enjoy conversations with acquaintances and other people's avatars, the Mirrored Body®.

The key to safely extending the relationship with this “alter ego” into everyday life is the “Mirrored Body® hardware wallet” designed by Yoichi Ochiai. As we move towards an era in which our data registered in “Mirrored Body®” will be safely stored as digital assets like cryptocurrency, it will be possible to store personal information, conversation logs, NFTs, and ID information as a physical Box in your pocket. Furthermore, by combining it with NEC’s world-class DID/VC “FaceVC” that utilizes face recognition, it is possible to further ensure identity, and the excitement of the experience will lead smoothly to data ownership and self-sovereign ID.

■Exhibition details: The traveling pavilion was a big success, attracting the most visitors.
At the booth inside the venue, we relocated the "3D Scan Tower," which can only be experienced at the Expo site, and set up a traveling pavilion where visitors could generate their own Mirrored Body® using just their smartphones.

THXLAB introduced "THXNET." ^{* 2}, a "Web3 as a Service" technology that can be used without the user even realizing it, as the Web3 infrastructure that supports "Mirrored Body®." Wallets are automatically generated during the experience process, and the infrastructure provides a mechanism for issuing soulbound tokens as proof of ownership on the L1 chain dedicated to "Mirrored Body®." Since the Expo, the number of ID wallets and transactions on the blockchain have been steadily increasing.

As a partner company handling sales and implementation support for "THXNET." and "Mirrored Body®," Macnica introduced its outlook for social implementation and usage models for companies, local governments, etc. It also shared its vision for on-site implementation support system and future scalability.

■Side Events
Over 70 people participated in the evening networking session, and many ideas for co-creating businesses using Mirrored Body® were born. Through talks and networking, lively discussions were held about the future of Web3 from various perspectives, making it a very meaningful opportunity.

*1: NEC is providing the DID/VC solution "NEC Digital Identity VCs Connect," which combines distributed ID technology and biometric authentication technology, for Yoichi Ochiai's signature pavilion "null2." This solution uses facial recognition technology to achieve high reliability and security in the digital world, enabling experiences and services of "self-sovereign identity" that allows users to manage their own digital data at their own will. It will support the development of a variety of use cases in industries such as healthcare, entertainment, retail, and tourism.
