Reading advanced technology through the lens of ergonomics.
Kawai Lab studies cutting-edge technologies from the perspective of ergonomics.
The lab seeks to understand how people interact with other elements of a system and to find ways to improve safety and comfort.
Its targets are technologies expected to become widespread in the near future, such as stereoscopic (3D) video, virtual reality, and mixed reality.
Key terms
- Ergonomics
- The study of interactions between people and machines or systems, aimed at improving usability and safety.
- Virtual reality
- A technology that lets people experience a virtual space created with computer graphics or similar means as if they were actually in it.
- Mixed reality
- A technology that overlays virtual information created by a computer onto a view of the real world.
ResearchResearch themes
Ergonomics is the discipline concerned with understanding the interactions between humans and other elements of a system. Kawai Lab takes an ergonomic approach to cutting-edge technologies that are expected to become widespread in the near future.
*Illustrative imageResearch on stereoscopic (3D) video
The lab examines stereoscopic (3D) video from the viewpoints of cognition and emotion, in addition to safety and comfort. The results have also been used in 3D film production in Japan and abroad.
*Illustrative imageResearch on virtual reality and mixed reality
Focusing on virtual reality and mixed reality, the lab works to reduce discomfort such as visually induced motion sickness and to improve the user experience.
