Yuta Itoh Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that computes the real world to augment how people see it.
AboutAbout the lab
Computing the real world, and augmenting it.
The Yuta Itoh Lab (Augmented Vision Lab) studies technologies that compute the interaction between people and the real world and intervene in it.
The lab aims to augment the way people exist in the computing society of the future.
Its themes are wide-ranging, from new display technologies for augmented reality (AR), to applications that augment vision, to AR and physical interaction.
A distinctive feature of the lab is that it works on both hardware, such as optical design and electronic circuits, and software, such as computer vision and graphics.
Key terms
- Augmented Reality (AR)
- Technology that overlays images and information created by a computer onto the scenery in front of one's eyes
- Computer Vision
- Technology that lets a computer read what is shown and where it is from images and video
- Waveguide
- A component that confines light within a thin plate or fiber and carries it to a target location

*Illustrative imageFast Position Tracking for AR Glasses
This research is on beaming displays, which project images from a device in the environment instead of requiring the user to wear heavy components. By combining photodetectors with an array of infrared LEDs and processing the signals on an FPGA, the lab made it possible to track the position and orientation of the glasses with a latency of about 430 microseconds.
*Illustrative imageGuiding Gaze Without Being Noticed
This method uses the phenomenon in which colors alternating more than 25 times per second appear as a single intermediate color, directing the user's attention without showing any conspicuous marker. Experiments investigated the perceptual threshold, and gaze measurements confirmed that gaze can be guided.
Battery-Free AR Glasses
In this form of AR, the projector, processor, and power supply are moved to a small device in the environment, and the user simply wears light, battery-free glasses that receive the light. The lab built a prototype that combines steerable laser projection and infrared tracking in the same optical path.
*Illustrative imageThin Waveguide-Based Receiver Glasses
The lab made thin, lightweight receiver glasses for beaming displays using a waveguide with diffraction gratings that couple light in and out. The range within which images can be received even when the head changes orientation has been widened from the previous 5 degrees to roughly 20 to 30 degrees.
