  Click Beetle-like Jumping Device for Entertainment

  We developed interactive jumping devices mimicking the jumping behaviour of click beetle. The purpose of this study is exploring the application of biometrics to digital entertainment. Specifically, We focused on the psychological impact caused by...

• 

  Communious Mouse: A Mouse Interface to Experience Emotions in Remarks on The Web by Extending and Modulating Oneʼs Body Image

  We develop “Communious Mouse” which gives the user an experience of others’ emotion in remarks on the web as experience of one’s own. To realize this experience, this system modifies the body image extended to the interface that units with emotion...

  Daily Support Robots that Move on the Body

  This robot is a partner that moves on the human body autonomously. it estimates wearers' body state, and points out wearers' bad posture or habit by moving to a region of the problem directly. We may be able to make use of it especially to train...

  Dancer-in-a-Box

  Dancer-in-a-Box is a project to create a self-propelled cardboard box without an external drive system such as a wheel or propeller. Since the dawn of time, humans have used a box as a static object to store and transport everyday things easily....

  Enforced Telexistence: Teleoperating Using Photorealistic Virtual Body and Haptic Feedback

  Providing the means of presence in a different location has been achieved in the fields of telepresence and telexistence. Some of these systems do have close to identical auditory and visual sensation but when the users find their hands as robotic...

• 

  Haptic Interaction with Virtual Geometry on Robotic Touch Surface

  We present our work on a robotic haptic surface display that physically imitates the orientation of virtual 3D geometry at the point of touch. The proposed system mechanically aligns its display surface with virtual 3D geometry. This allows users...

• 

  Haptylus : Haptic Stylus for Interaction with Virtual Objects behind a Touch Screen

  Haptylus consist of an automatic retractable stylus and a tablet PC. A user can touch a virtual object behind a tablet PC using the retractable stylus. When user pushes the stylus toward tablet PC, the stylus shrinks, causing the user to get a...

  MR Coral Sea - Mixed Reality Aquarium with Physical MR Displays

  Our goal is to establish framework for creating mixed-reality (MR) entertainment for participants including both the players and the audience. MR experience is typically characterized by an immersive FPV experience using a Head-Mounted Display...

• 

  One-Man Orchestra: Conducting Smartphone Orchestra

  This work presents a new platform for performing one-man orchestra. The conductor is the only human involved, who uses traditional bimanual conducting gestures to interactively direct the performance of smartphones instead of human performers in a...

• 

  Slanting Shadow: Changing Invisible Shadow Shapes by Rotation for Expanding Shadowgraph Experience

  This paper proposes a method for hiding information inside an actual object and viewing the hidden information as shadows selectively by rotating the object. Our proposed system uses polarizing plates and 1/2 wavelength boards. The goal of our...

• 

  SmartSail: Visualizing Wind Force on the Sail to Learn and Enjoy Sailing Easily

  Sailing is not easy for beginners to learn because controlling a sailboat is not intuitive. We have developed a radio-controlled sailboat, prototypes of SmartSail, has an augmented-feedback user interface to visualize force on the sail to make...

  Touch at a Distance: Simple Perception Aid Device with User's Explorer Action

  Although we obtain a lot of information in our environment via the visual modality, we also obtain rich information via the non-visual modality. In the mechanism how we perceive our environment, we use not only the sensor information but also "how...
