Associate Professor Hiroyuki Matsuguma worked at a private company, where he was involved in designing and producing digital content using computer graphics.
This field has many issues to solve, such as methods for building data and visual expression in communication.
The lab lists the design of serious games and gamification among its research themes.
Key terms
- Serious games
- Games made for purposes beyond play, such as rehabilitation
- Gamification
- An approach that incorporates game elements to encourage people's behavior

*Illustrative imageDesigning Games for Rehabilitation
A paper from the early 2010s states that the lab developed a game that makes sit-to-stand training enjoyable, in joint research with a hospital, and tested its usefulness and safety at the hospital and a long-term care health facility for older adults. A 2019 paper proposes a game design for rehabilitation training for unilateral spatial neglect.
Encouraging Behavior with Game Elements
The lab studies methods of encouraging desirable behavior by incorporating game elements. For the purpose of health promotion, it has conducted an empirical study using a smartphone app that encourages people to walk more steps.
