SYSTEM INTEGRATIONPenguin System Co., Ltd.
CORE TECHNOLOGYNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)

This system uses core technology owned by the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS). Penguin System Co., Ltd. implements and delivers the system to meet each customer’s needs.

The technology was developed by Yusuke Matsuoka of the Microstructure Thermodynamics Group, Materials Evaluation Field, Research Center for Structural Materials at NIMS. NIMS has filed a patent application (JP 2026-077064 A). Penguin System provides these system integration services under a patent license.

01 / WHY VR

BEYOND THE LIMITS OF 2D

Complex data reveals more
when you step inside.

Multicomponent phase diagrams, 3D microstructures and simulation results contain complex information. As the volume of data grows, rotating or zooming on a flat screen alone can make spatial relationships and internal structures difficult to grasp.

This system combines stereoscopic viewing through a VR headset with controller interaction, allowing researchers to experience their data as a space they can explore.

02 / CAPABILITIES

Three ways to explore
and understand.

01
◎

Step inside the data

Experience depth and scale, and explore complex internal structures in three dimensions.

IMMERSIVE OBSERVATION
02
⌁

Explore interactively

Move, zoom and inspect cross-sections. Use controllers to interact directly with your data as you explore.

INTERACTIVE ANALYSIS
03
⌬

Connect to external systems

Connect to external simulation software and other systems to visualize results in real time.
