VISIONARE Vision

Bridging between the needs in life and the seeds of technology

VISIONARE was established with the intent of spreading “made-in-Japan” technologies across the globe.
In the 21st century, society is becoming more and more information centric.  The knowledge of people is value.  Information is value. During such a time, VISIONARE has been focusing on visual information - in particular digitally coded visual information, which has a huge impact on the information centric society. VISIONARE will continue developing new technologies which create value for society, especially focusing on technologies related to digitally coded visuals.

As a corporation, VISIONARE constantly looks for new styles.  Not simply proposing technical visions, VISIONARE presents new values by bridging between the needs in life and the seeds of technology.  VISIONARE believes that is what a technology oriented company in the 21st century should do.

Research and Development at VISIONARE

VISIONARE’s technologies are “MIXED MEDIA” technologies which have been created by the digitalization of the visual data.  By this digitalization, the fusion of the visual data and existing text oriented digital media such as internet and mobile phone have been transformed and totally new ways of enjoying the media have become available.

As of today, VISIONARE focuses on efficiently utilizing the features of the DVD as a digital visual media. This media, which is distributed efficiently through existing retail channels and

represents by far the biggest market for VISIONARE. Starting from DVD, VISIOANRE is expanding its R&D field to all areas which connect visual media with internet media.

As the name Digital Versatile Disc shows, DVD can be used together with other types of digital media. This means the DVD can be used not only for replacing VHS as visual media, but also for other purposes such as promotion and delivery of-corporate information. In doing so, the various functions of DVDMAGIC such as marketing research, password matching and security, can further expand the potential of DVD.

VISIONARE is proposing a totally new way to distribute visual content

VISIONARE is proposing new ways to distribute visual content based upon its unique development. VISIONARE believes progress in digital technologies will revolutionize distribution of visual content. VISIONARE with DVDMAGIC and Blu-ray Disc technology will facilitate the use of digital media to establish a new business leveraging totally new methods of visual content distribution.
