Research

We are conducting research on input systems for tabletop systems, such as multi-touch and gesture inputs, as well as output systems including pseudo-3D displays and pseudo-tactile feedback using electrical stimulation. We are also proposing applications of these technologies to the entertainment field.

Research on interaction technology for large-screen displays projected onto walls.

We are creating a gacha-gacha (capsule toy vending machine) that incorporates an LCD screen into the machine itself and adds mechanisms that allow users to play further with the obtained products, providing the worldview and stories of the toys or enabling play with the toys.

We develop various interaction techniques for SmartSKin, a human body shape sensor / multi-touch sensor based on capacitive sensing developed at Sony Computer Science Lab.

This research aims to address the limitations of input interfaces in systems used for large-screen performances and entertainment purposes. It provides an intuitive input method using a laser pointer that is easy to understand for both users and audiences.

EffecTV is a real-time software video effect processor reflecting the movement in the images from a video camera. Simply by moving your body, you can experience various fun visual effects.

Web Community Browser is a tool being researched with the aim of helping understand the characteristics of web communities and supporting structural discovery by visualizing automatically extracted web communities and their relationship structures.

The Multi-Point Input System (MPIS) is a system that allows users to simultaneously indicate multiple coordinates on a computer screen. While conventional GUIs can only use a single pointing device, MPIS enables simultaneous operation of multiple objects on the screen using multiple devices.
