The lab builds technology that intelligently supports people through sensing and AI.
AboutAbout the lab
Technology useful in the real world, ahead of the rest of the world
The Intelligent Informatics Lab conducts research on human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, and sensing.
Aiming for technology that intelligently supports people and creates a safe society, the lab advances research on both the software and hardware sides.
Currently, various projects are underway, including mobile technology, high-precision positioning and ranging, 3D imaging, and ubiquitous computing.
The lab is open not only to students of information science and engineering but also to those interested in cognition, education, and design.
Key terms
- Human-computer interaction
- A research field aimed at making interaction between people and computers easy to use and natural
- Sensing
- Using sensors to measure information such as position, sound, and light
- Positioning
- Determining where a person or object is by measuring its position. Besides radio waves, sound and light signals can also serve as clues.

The lab researches technologies usable in the real world, such as positioning and communication using ultrasound and light, and 3D information processing using images and sound. It also develops systems and devices that support people by applying artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction technologies.
*Illustrative imagePositioning and Communication Technologies
The lab aims to realize technology for fast, high-accuracy position measurement using ultrasound and light, along with communication technology. On this foundation, it also develops applications usable in the real world.
*Illustrative imageVisual and Acoustic Information Processing
The lab studies fast, high-accuracy acquisition of 3D shapes through image processing and computer vision, 3D imaging using acoustic signals, and the theoretical foundations of both.
*Illustrative imageAI and HCI Applications
Applying artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction technologies, the lab develops systems that intelligently support people, as well as devices and robots that anyone can operate intuitively.
*Illustrative imageVirtual 3D Interfaces
The lab aims to realize interfaces for moving through and walking around virtual 3D space intuitively, using both 2D devices such as mice and multi-touch, and 3D devices that return the sensation of touch.
