Realizing information systems with high experiential values for future prosperous society

As digital transformation (DX) has changed our lifestyles, the integration of the real and digital worlds will become important in the future of society. To realize human-friendly information systems for the new society, it is important to clarify the relationship between information and human cognition, understanding, and sensitivity and to develop human-friendly information display technologies.

MISSION

It is generally understood that people obtain a great deal of information in their daily lives through visual information and the interface between digital information and people is the display systems. Display technology has made remarkable progress to date in terms of high image quality and functionality. However, at the same time, the strain on the human eye is increasing. To overcome these challenges and realize a sustainable society in the future, we believe it is essential to establish information systems that reduce the strain on the people.

Our research group focuses on light control technology and its applications, aiming to develop human-friendly display technologies so that the presence of an information device is no longer noticeable to the user. We will clarify the relationship between information and human cognition, understanding, and sensitivity and information, and advance human life by controlling the digital information. We want to establish human-friendly information device technologies that create high experiential values rather than performance improvements. In the future, it may be possible to create new experiential values by controlling information obtained from vision and integrating it with other senses.

We aim to establish information technology that connects the real world with the digital world and makes people's minds and lives overflowing with digital information.
