It is actually the fourth 3D movie for the GeGeGe no Kitarō franchise; the first was 1999’s GeGeGe no Kitarō: Kitarō no Yūrei Densha (Kitarō’s Ghost Train).
Toei Animation is supervising the three-part project featuring virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and 3DCG works.
VR and AR maker Gugenka is developing a VR app titled “Tamashii no Okuribi” (Fire Sending Off Spirits), which will be compatible with the standalone VR headset Lenovo Mirage Solo with Daydream.
The app allows users to collect AR figures that appear to be in the real world through the smartphone screen.
