Shiraki-Umezawa Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab studying displays that show different images depending on the viewing direction, and educational materials based on visualization.

AboutAbout the lab
Creating displays whose images change with the viewing direction
The Shiraki-Umezawa Lab studies directional volumetric displays, which show different images depending on the viewing direction, and educational materials that use visualization technology.
The lab proposes a method of recording multiple images in the same space by laser-processing a glass cube.
The other area is developing educational materials that use CG and VR to visualize celestial bodies, which require three-dimensional understanding, in order to support that understanding.
The lab also welcomes ideas from students based on their own free thinking.
Key terms
- Directional volumetric display
- A display device that records multiple images in the same space so that a different image is visible from each viewing direction
- Visualization technology
- Technology that uses CG and other means to turn phenomena or data that are hard to see into a form that can be seen and understood
- Digital signage
- Signage and advertising systems that deliver information on electronic display devices

ResearchResearch themes
The lab develops displays that show different images depending on the viewing direction, and educational materials about celestial bodies. While advancing its current themes, it also welcomes ideas from students based on their own free thinking.
*Illustrative imageThree-dimensional display that changes with the viewing direction
Based on a method of recording multiple images in the same space, the lab develops displays in which different images are visible depending on the viewing direction. The displays are made by laser-processing a glass cube, and making them electronic is expected to enable video display and applications in digital signage.
*Illustrative imageEducational materials that visualize celestial bodies
The lab develops educational materials that use visualization technology such as CG and VR, on celestial bodies that require three-dimensional understanding. Users can switch between views of the Moon as seen from Earth and of the positional relationship of the Sun, Earth, and Moon, and can check things such as the phases of the Moon as seen from any position.
