Interactive Tabletop System

Projects

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. These studies are joint research with Koike Lab of the University of Electro-Communications.
