AboutAbout the lab
Improving human-to-human interaction through technology
The Ichino Lab studies human-computer interaction, a field that deals with the interaction between people and computers.
Through experiments, the lab examines how the way people speak and the way they perceive what others say change in conversations held through new means such as virtual spaces and video calls.
The lab also works on building systems that support discussion and collaboration, and it includes interaction between people and robots in its research.

Focusing on interaction between people and computers, the lab measures people's behavior and perceptions through experiments and explores ways to support dialogue and collaboration. It studies interaction with new kinds of partners and in new settings, such as virtual spaces and robots.
*Illustrative imageSelf-Disclosure in Virtual Spaces
In experiments where pairs held conversations in four ways (face to face, video call, and two types of avatars), the lab confirmed that people find it easier to open up about their own emotions in virtual spaces.
*Illustrative imageViewpoints and Cues That Support Discussion
The lab showed that in virtual spaces, a third-person view in which people see themselves from behind makes it easier to reach agreement in discussions where conflict is likely to arise.
