MARUI-PlugIn is an Osaka-based technology company which brings Virtual Reality support to the professional 3DCG software Autodesk Maya, allowing 3D artists to create faster and more immersively without switching from their existing software. By modeling and animating in VR as opposed to with the traditional monitor and mouse, artists are able to work with objects as if they are in the same room, increasing the speed and efficiency with which they can build, resize, review, and animate models and scenes in 3 dimensions.

Along with MARUI, the flagship plugin for Maya, Max and MARUI-PlugIn have also developed an entire suite of VR tools for 3D design including:
-BlenderXR, which brings VR functionality to Blender in much the same way as MARUI does to Maya
-VCAT, a camera motion recording plugin for 3DS Max and Maya
-A patent-pending gesture recognition library for easily training 3D gestures using machine learning.

MARUI developed its powerful suite of VR tools for visual professionals in the games, animation, and cinema industries in order to revolutionize the way 3DCG artists work. While the VR industry has typically focused on consumer based applications and experiences, MARUI enables VR to be used during production for a more intuitive and natural creative process, even if the final game or media will not be viewed in VR.
