A lab that uses computers to unravel designers' handcraft skills and builds tools that support creative work.
AboutAbout the lab
Turning the skill of drawing into a tool
The Fukusato Lab studies computer graphics and human-computer interaction.
Creating 3DCG works and hand-drawn works requires designers' manual work, which takes a great deal of time and effort.
The lab therefore works on formalizing the experiential skills that designers have and turning them into systems that can be used.
It also focuses on building creative support systems that can easily reflect the user's direction.
Key terms

- Technology for creating shapes and images with computers. Also called CG
- Human-computer interaction
- A field that designs how people and computers interact and examines usability
- Creative support system
- A mechanism in which a computer takes over part of the creator's work to assist production

ResearchResearch themes
The Fukusato Lab mainly conducts research in computer graphics and human-computer interaction. It works on analyzing and reproducing designers' techniques, and on directable creative support systems that can easily reflect the user's direction.
*Illustrative imageUnraveling how skilled people draw
Skilled artists and beginners move their hands and bodies differently when drawing. The lab records the drawing process and analyzes the movements and body use specific to experts, applying the results to help people learn drawing skills.
*Illustrative imageDesigning cushioning that wraps objects
Cushioning for packing three-dimensional objects in a box is hard to make to fit an object's shape. The lab is building a tool for interactively designing, on screen, the shape of block-type cushioning that splits into two parts.
