The lab supports people who design, using computers.
AboutAbout the lab
Supporting design with computers
The Graphics and Interaction Lab studies computer graphics and interaction.
In particular, the lab focuses on research into systems that support people's design work.
A newly established lab, it works closely with Prof. Otake's lab and operates as the "Otake-Koyama Lab."
Key terms

ResearchResearch themes
Based on computer graphics and human-computer interaction, the lab studies systems that support people's design work. Its work covers design support that reflects personal preferences, support for making functional objects, and support for animation production.
*Illustrative imageDesign support that reflects personal preferences
Using human-in-the-loop Bayesian optimization, the lab studies design support systems that can reflect a person's subjective preferences.
*Illustrative imageSupport for making functional objects
Making use of digital fabrication equipment, the lab studies computational design techniques that support the creation of functional objects.
*Illustrative imageNew approaches to animation production
The lab studies new methods of expression and production workflows for creating digital content, especially animation. It is also pursuing joint research with the Igarashi Lab at the University of Tokyo and OLM Digital.
