A 3D shape lab that recreates everyday objects on a computer.
AboutAbout the lab
Realizing digital modeling of the real world
Nagai Lab studies digital modeling, which recreates everyday objects and sensations on a computer.
Digital modeling is a technology useful in many fields, including better product design, XR, medicine, and the natural sciences.
Focusing mainly on 3D shapes, the lab pursues its research through three pillars: measurement technology for acquiring data, mathematical algorithms for processing it, and programming.
Shape modeling, computational geometry, and computer graphics form its foundation.
Key terms
- Digital modeling
- Technology that captures real objects and sensations inside a computer so they can be handled as data.
- Computational geometry
- Mathematics for handling figures such as points, lines, and surfaces accurately and quickly on a computer.
- XR
- A collective term for technologies such as VR and AR that let people experience a blend of the real and virtual worlds.
