Transforming communication through VR and spatial technology

Spacely Inc. is a startup pioneering the use of VR and spatial data to transform how people communicate, work, and explore the world. Our cloud-based platform, Spacely, enables anyone, regardless of technical background, to easily create, edit, and deploy 360° VR content for business applications. While widely adopted in the real estate and housing sectors, our technology also powers virtual tourism, manufacturing training, digital exhibits, and more.

Since launching in 2016, over 7,000 companies have used Spacely to drive digital transformation and deliver immersive experiences to more than 10,000 users. With a mission to bring wonder and discovery to as many people as possible, we’re building the future of spatial communication, one VR experience at a time.

Global engineering team

Our engineering team has been global from the early days of the company, with about 40% of our engineers coming from outside Japan. The team is led by our Engineering Manager who is also non-Japanese and has been with us for seven years, helping to shape our inclusive and internationally minded culture. Japanese language usage now varies by team. The R&D team primarily operates in English, while other teams tend to use more Japanese in their day-to-day communication. Still, individual interviews and study sessions, such as reading and presenting academic papers, are typically conducted in English, supporting an environment where non-Japanese speakers can continue to grow and contribute.
