Development of ‘Inokori Master’: A Card Game Created Using VR Spaces to Facilitate Cultural Memory Transmission through Dialogue

Abstract

This study presents a new approach to cultural memory transmission across generations and communities by archiving an old elementary school building, scheduled for reconstruction due to deterioration, as a VR space and developing a card game titled “Inokori Master” based on this archive. The game is designed with the concept of “a short gameplay session that encourages players to share memories of their elementary school years, particularly those associated with teachers and spaces.” It encourages participants from diverse backgrounds to reflect on and share their school memories, fostering value sharing and meaningful dialogue.
