INSPIRATION

Sato : Camping above the clouds seems like the ultimate relaxing experience. This should make us feel one with nature and ultimate peace. It must be a truly fantastical adventure to not only look at the clouds, but also to be inside them.
Kanki : In order to create such a unique experience, a design that prioritizes safety is required. If this becomes possible, a new market in the leisure industry may also be created.
Sawai : Experiences like this may provide new ways for us to learn about the Earth's climate. Spending time above the clouds can be a hands-on learning experience that deepens your knowledge of meteorological observations. Perhaps the first experience of camping above the clouds in VR will be the opportunity to make it a reality.

This cosmic camping experience expands human potential both physically and mentally. Living in an unknown environment fosters inner human qualities such as adaptability, creativity, and cooperation

FUTURE DREAM STORY

Camping at Cloudtop Sanctuary begins in a transparent living space floating in the sky. When we arrive at this innovative campsite, we are taken aback by the spectacular view unfolding in front of us. A soft cloud spreads around our feet, giving the illusion of standing on top of it.
Here we will learn new ways to breathe in nature. The flow of clouds indicates the passage of time, and the birds flying in the sky are a symbol of freedom. Now that technology has made it possible to live in the sky, a new appreciation for the natural environment has emerged. The sight of the sun illuminating the clouds reminds us of the fragility of the planet Earth and its beauty at the same time.
At night, the stars form a canopy that envelops us, giving us a strong sense of connection to the universe. This place, where technology and nature harmonize, is not just a refuge, but a step towards a sustainable future. Cloudtop Sanctuary is a place to rethink life on the Earth and explore the harmony between the sky and life on the Earth.
