Advanced Information Environment Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that connects everyday devices through networks, aiming for a human-friendly ubiquitous society.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming for a human-friendly ubiquitous society.
The Kawaguchi Lab aims to build a human-friendly ubiquitous society, and studies mechanisms by which the information devices around us are connected through networks and work together.
Its scope is broad, from fundamental networking technology to environmental sensing, infrastructure software, interfaces, and the development of demonstration systems.
Following the policies of "pursue what interests you thoroughly" and "value making things work," the lab proceeds from theory through data collection to building working demonstration systems.
Its research themes also extend to location information systems, activity sensing, environment modeling, and applied research on autonomous driving.
Key terms
- Ubiquitous
- A state in which the computers and networks around us can be used anytime, anywhere, without being aware of them
- Activity sensing
- A technology that captures a person's movements with sensors and estimates what the person is doing
- Platform
- A foundational mechanism shared by various services and software

ResearchResearch themes
Aiming to build a human-friendly ubiquitous society, the lab conducts research and development ranging from networking technology for mobile and ubiquitous environments to sensing, infrastructure software, and interfaces. It develops a foundation for service integration toward smart cities and a system for visualizing data on moving objects.
*Illustrative imageSynerex, a platform connecting services
Toward smart cities and a super-smart society (Society 5.0), the lab develops Synerex, a platform that links various services. It works as a mechanism for exchanging the supply and demand of services, and the source code is available on GitHub.
*Illustrative imageHarmoware-VIS, visualization of mobility data
Harmoware-VIS is a data visualization system that dynamically displays on a map the movements and routes of people and vehicles, as well as density heat maps. The lab develops it within the Human-Machine Concerto Technology Consortium (HMHS). The source code is public and continues to be updated.
