AboutAbout the lab
Making computers easier to use.
The Igarashi Lab researches user interfaces that make computers easier to use.
The lab also works on CAD and computer graphics research, with a focus on shape modeling.
Its goal is to enable people without specialized training to create 3D models, animations, and physical objects such as clothing and furniture.
Key terms
- User interface
- The mechanisms, such as screens and input methods, through which people operate a computer
- GUI
- The current standard way of operating a computer, in which users manipulate icons and buttons on a screen with a mouse or similar device
- Shape modeling
- Technology for creating and deforming 3D shapes inside a computer
ResearchResearch themes
The lab's research rests on two pillars: user interfaces and computer graphics (shape modeling). It aims to develop interaction methods that go beyond the limits of today's GUIs, and technologies that let anyone create advanced content and physical objects.
