About us

As a university-based startup with a technological foundation virtually unmatched anywhere in the world, H2L is a group of technologists dedicated to pioneering new technologies to realize our vision. We are constantly developing new technologies across a wide range of fields, including information science, physiology, cognitive psychology, and complex systems engineering (AI).

BodySharing® (Experience Sharing) is a concept, a technological framework, and the interface designed to enable the sharing of experiences among humans, characters, robots, and others through the mutual exchange of human body data with computers.

BodySharing® is gaining significant attention both within and outside the industry as its applications expand across a wide range of fields, from dual-work solutions to tourism, education, sports, and entertainment. In recent years, opportunities for collaboration with other companies have increased, and with the launch of new joint projects, we continue to develop innovative technologies in the fields of experience sharing and physical AI.

Vision

By facilitating the exchange of sensory information between humans and computers,
we aim to share experiences with people, characters, robots, and others, and to help create richer lives and experiences.

Mission

People find joy in experiences.
Digital technology makes it possible to share even more of them.

Our Business

To realize our mission of “People find joy in experiences. Digital technology makes it possible to share even more of them.”, H2L has made the distribution of experiences the core of its business.
To achieve our vision by 2029, we are developing products, platforms, and services for sharing experiences in fields such as dual work, sports, manufacturing, education, and entertainment.
Each business serves as a bridge between H2L’s Vision and the diverse visions of life, and is structured around three core experience distribution businesses.

Business experience

To address the lack of mutual understanding regarding work styles across various workplace environments and the resulting decline in productivity, we provide a system that allows users to share their work experiences through avatars.

skill experience

We operate a platform that captures and shares data on the movements and force application of skilled professionals, primarily in manufacturing, sports, and training. We help pass down skills that are difficult to convey in words by turning them into tangible experiences.

robot experience

By providing human proprioceptive data, we are building a foundation that enables physical AI to learn efficiently from human experiences.

Our Journey

“A world where experiences can be shared regardless of location”——H2L was founded as a response to a challenge no one had an answer for.
BodySharing®: technology that digitally transmits proprioception (the deep sensory perception felt in joints and muscles).
In 2011, it was selected as one of TIME magazine’s “Best 50 Inventions”, and the following year, in 2012, H2L was established as the world recognized its potential.
We have a single vision.“By facilitating the exchange of sensory information between humans and computers, we aim to enable people, characters, robots, and others to share experiences, thereby realizing richer lives and a more fulfilling future.”
——To achieve this, H2L has progressed step by step, from research to products, and from products to services.

Chapter 01Prove

It all began with our mission to prove to the world the hypothesis that “technology capable of conveying proprioception can exist.” This was a period when we, armed with devices designed for research institutions, published a series of academic papers and steadily demonstrated the technology’s potential. Then, in 2015, our participation in TechCrunch Disrupt SF and our Kickstarter campaign yielded the first response from the world. The sensory data accumulated during this phase would eventually pave the way for the distribution of experiences and the development of physical AI.

Chapter 02Ask

Can technology become an industry? H2L brought this question to the public. Large-scale pilot projects, the B2B rollout of remote work services, and data collection in the sports sector—each of these initiatives helped define the contours of our business, “the distribution of experiences”. The sensory data accumulated from diverse fields has further solidified this path.

Chapter 03Distribute

Technology becomes a product, products become services, and services become an industry. With the full-scale rollout of BodySharing® for Business, the launch of the experiential marketplace “Maaart”, and expansion into new domains through Physical AI, H2L is now in the process of building an entirely new industry: the “distribution of experiences”. We are aggregating the sensory data we have accumulated and deploying it as experiences delivered through Physical AI and human interaction.

VisionTo the next horizon

A world where proprioception, alongside sight, hearing, and touch, allows us to share experiences across time and space. H2L is steadily moving forward to realize this vision.
