Throughout the 2025 NFL season, Kudan’s XR broadcasting solution, Kudan VANTAGETM, was continuously deployed for all FOX Sports weekend highlight games. Operating under live, mission-critical broadcast conditions on a weekly basis, the solution delivered stable and repeatable performance, establishing a proven full-season operational record.

A hallmark of this collaboration was the close, hands-on cooperation among Kudan, SkyCam and FOX Sports, conducting more than 20 match-day joint activities, including on-site deployment, live operational support, and post-game technical reviews. This frequent collaboration enabled rapid refinement and ensured broadcast-grade reliability across a wide range of stadium environments.

In October 2025, the partnership reached a significant operational milestone, with Kudan’s real-time tracking technology permanently installed within FOX Sports’ broadcast production infrastructure for the season. This permanent integration enabled more streamlined XR workflows with reduced setup overhead and underscored the solution’s maturity and readiness for continuous broadcast operations beyond short-term event use.

In parallel with live deployments, the teams jointly advanced the XR solution from a LiDAR-centric approach to a multi-sensor-fusion architecture incorporating camera information, further enhancing tracking robustness, visual consistency, and adaptability in dynamic live sports environments.

As a result of sustained season-long operation and permanent infrastructure integration, Kudan’s real-time tracking system became an integral, production-ready component of FOX Sports’ broadcast workflow. The continuous on-air presence and strategic infrastructure commitment attracted strong attention from broadcasters, production partners, and the global sports media and XR market, reinforcing the commercial viability of SLAM-driven XR broadcasting technologies.

While Kudan did not appear in this year’s Super Bowl broadcast, as FOX Sports was not the official broadcaster, the collaboration builds on prior success at Super Bowl LIX, held in February 2025, where Kudan’s technology powered large-scale XR visuals for one of the world’s most-watched sporting events.

Looking ahead, Kudan plans to further commercialize Kudan VANTAGETM by advancing deployment efficiency, standardizing operational workflows, and expanding applicability across additional sports, leagues, and broadcast formats. With a full-season deployment track record, permanent production integration, and growing market interest, Kudan is well positioned to support broader commercial adoption of immersive live broadcast technologies across the global sports media industry.

Kudan Inc. (hereinafter “Kudan”), together with its partner XGRIDS, is pleased to announce its contribution to Asahi Broadcasting Group’s special exhibition on the theme of disaster prevention at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai. Together, the two companies contributed to delivering a cutting-edge, photo-realistic 3D visual experience that brings disaster learning to life.

At the centrepiece of the exhibition, the VR Dome Theater Disaster Experience allows visitors to immerse themselves in a vivid recreation of a disaster site. Kudan and XGRIDS played a key role in producing this experience by employing Lixel CyberColor (hereinafter “LCC”), an advanced 3D reconstruction technology. Using this, the companies helped to faithfully reproduce the destruction and subsequent recovery of JR Kobe Line’s Rokkomichi Station during the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake with striking photo-realism.

Built on 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), LCC delivers a level of realism and immersion far beyond conventional 3D imaging. It also enables free-viewpoint interaction, offering a groundbreaking level of realism in video production and user experience.

Kudan strongly supports the mission of this exhibition: “Deepening learning on disaster prevention and mitigation to design a safer future.” Looking ahead, Kudan will continue to leverage Lixel CyberColor (LCC) powered by 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), alongside its Kudan PRISM digital twin platform to deliver value and contribute to society across the following areas:

• Disaster Simulation and Evacuation Planning
  By simulating floods, earthquakes, and other large-scale disasters within a digital twin, Kudan enables predictive damage assessment, 3D verification of evacuation routes, and prioritization of emergency recovery actions.
• Decision-Making Support in the Field
  AI-powered analyses of potential hazards and damage estimates can be overlaid on photo-realistic 3D environments. This allows governments, operators, and residents to share a unified perspective, accelerating decision-making and reducing delays in planning and response.
• Education and Public Awareness Programs
  In collaboration with schools, municipalities, and broadcasters, Kudan will provide interactive VR screenings and large-scale immersive curricula. Through photo-realistic disaster experiences, the company aims to pass on disaster-prevention awareness to the next generation.

Event Overview

• Title: ABC Group – A Future Vision of Disaster Prevention to Share with the World
• Dates: September 1st (Mon, Disaster Prevention Day) – September 4th (Thu), 2025
• Theme: Experiencing the Reality of Disasters and Deepening Learning on Prevention and Mitigation
• Venue: Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai – Gallery WEST (Exhibition Room 1, Exhibition Room 2, Outdoor Exhibition Space)
• Organizers: Asahi Broadcasting Group Holdings Corporation, and others

1. Solution Overview and Key Features

In the field of maintaining bridges, tunnels, plants, and urban infrastructure, the challenges of aging assets and a shortage of skilled personnel are becoming increasingly severe. There is a growing need to balance highly accurate condition assessment with efficient maintenance operations. Conventional “3D point cloud-centric” solutions have faced significant issues, including large data sizes, slow rendering and limited operability, and difficulties in data integration.

Kudan PRISM is a platform developed to address these challenges and accelerate digital transformation (DX) in the field. It enables the rapid generation and utilization of lightweight, photo-realistic 3D digital twins enriched with semantic information,aking it intuitive and easy for anyone to share and analyze spatial information that was previously difficult to handle.

The solution can be applied across a wide range of fields, including facility and asset management, infrastructure inspection, robotics simulation, and smart city initiatives. Combining smooth, photo-realistic 3D visualization with Kudan’s Spatial Intelligence technology and AI-driven automation, it delivers an end-to-end workflow, from classification, tagging, and analysis of managed assets to intuitive data management and seamless information integration, enhancing operational efficiency and service quality through automation.
