Hirohisa Lab (The University Museum)
Machine-translated · View original
A museum engineering lab whose work ranges from programming to exhibition sound and old maps.
AboutAbout the lab
Expanding exhibitions and maps with computers.
The Hirohisa Lab studies control systems and museum engineering.
The lab develops its own programming framework for running many processes concurrently.
At exhibitions held at the University Museum, the lab has experimented with adding a soundscape to the venue.
The lab has developed a geographic information system (GIS) that can handle old maps and pictorial maps, and it also collects and digitizes old maps.
Key terms
- Coroutine
- A program component that can pause processing partway and resume it later. It allows many tasks to be advanced in alternation.
- Soundscape
- The idea of perceiving all the sounds heard in a place as a whole, like a landscape. A landscape of sound.
- Geographic information system (GIS)
- A computer system that overlays location-tagged information on a map to display and analyze it. Often abbreviated as GIS.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies control systems and museum engineering. It develops a framework for concurrently running programs, and works on sound systems for exhibitions and on collecting and digitizing old maps.
*Illustrative imageA Framework for Concurrent Programs
Running many processes at the same time puts load on a system and makes bugs that occur only rarely more likely. To address this, the lab is developing tinyState, a pseudo-coroutine framework.
*Illustrative imageSoundscapes and Exhibitions
The lab experiments with how adding a soundscape to an exhibition venue expands the possibilities of expression. It builds a multichannel recording and playback system with tinyState and evaluates its performance.
*Illustrative imageA GIS for Old Maps and Pictorial Maps
The lab has developed GLOBALBASE, a geographic information system that can use maps and pictorial maps as base maps. In parallel, it collects and digitizes old maps, such as Ino Tadataka's maps and wartime aerial photographs.
