Alpha Code

Alpha Code Inc. is a technology firm specializing in the XR (VR, AR, MR) domain. Established on October 1, 2015, the company initially operated under the name UEI Solutions. It was founded by Takahiro Mizuno, who currently serves as the company's Founder and CTO. In May 2017, following a management buyout from its parent company UEI, the firm rebranded to Alpha Code Inc. to signify a new beginning and its mission to translate new technologies into tangible value. The company's leadership team also includes Tomoyuki Takeichi, a seasoned executive from the gaming industry, including a tenure as president of Square (now Square Enix), who brings extensive experience in online and virtual world development.

The company's core business revolves around creating immersive experiences through its proprietary technologies. Alpha Code operates on two main fronts: a platform business and a solutions business. The platform segment features "Blinky," an immersive experience platform that delivers ultra-realistic, first-person perspective content, focusing on entertainment. This platform supports high-definition 11K VR video and enables features like multi-angle viewing and live streaming. The solutions division leverages its XR technology to address various business challenges, offering services in corporate training, promotion, and entertainment. Key products include "VRider COMMS," an internet-free, closed metaverse solution for wireless communication between VR goggles, and "VRider ADMIN," a system for managing multiple VR headsets from a single tablet.

Alpha Code generates revenue through the development and provision of its XR systems, applications, and platforms. This includes VR/MR live video distribution, metaverse solutions, and consulting on network content development. The company has secured significant funding to fuel its growth, including over 400 million yen from investors like NTT West and Nippon Souhatsu Group in September 2019, 300 million yen from Dai Nippon Printing in June 2022, and over 1.6 billion yen from backers such as Nippon TV and WOWOW in July 2023. This series of investments underscores the market's confidence in Alpha Code's vision to merge real and virtual worlds, building on the foundation of 5G and the increasing adoption of VR devices.
