DescriptionWe succeeded in fabricating a holographic screen with higher transparency and luminance compared to conventional transparent screens. We propose a technique for creating a feeling of "actually there" reality to 2D images with the combination of a 360-degree transparent holographic screen display and sensing technology using multiple high-speed cameras.

DescriptionWe have developed a novel, full-color Retinal Scan Near-Eye Display. The unique relay optical system achieved high resolution (1280p x 720p), large field of view (47 degree diagonal), high transparency (over 85%), and handheld size. It also enables viewers to focus the virtual images at arbitrary distance from 25 centimeters to infinity.

Our key approach is based on a spatial template, which solely includes architectural geometric primitives. The predictability of spatial template improves the efficiency of acquisition, storage, and rendering. Thereby, modeling and rendering of larger indoor spaces is possible.

DescriptionTransfantome is a novel robot interaction in which the user seamlessly changes or simultaneously uses "bodies" of different sizes, structures, and positions. By combining various bodies, we expand our range of power, dexterity, and the place we act, and it brings us unexplored experiences or highly-efficient work.

2014: Emerging Technologies

Birdly

Birdly was an installation that explored the experience of a bird in flight. Unlike a common flight simulator, users do not control a machine. Instead, they embody a bird, the Red Kite. To evoke this embodiment, the system relied on sensory-motor coupling. Participants controled the simulator with hands and arms, and a head-mounted display provided a first-person perspective of a bird.
