Energy Informatics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab uses IT to build a new relationship among people, society, and energy.
AboutAbout the lab
IT for a new energy society.
The Energy Informatics Lab aims to create new energy social systems through IT.
Building the energy society of the future requires considering what kind of system is appropriate from the perspectives of people, society, and the environment.
The lab works on research in human interfaces and on research related to designing systems for a symbiotic society.
Key terms
- Augmented reality
- A technology that overlays computer-generated information on a view of the real world (AR)
- Human-machine interface
- A mechanism for exchanging information between people and machines
- Risk communication
- The exchange of information and opinions about hazards and risks among people with different positions
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the development of energy systems that use ICT such as augmented reality, proposals for new low-environmental-impact lifestyles, and risk communication about new energy sources and radioactive waste.
*Illustrative imageSupporting plants with augmented reality
A stable energy supply also requires more advanced human-machine interfaces between people and machines. The lab develops augmented reality tracking technology and augmented reality systems that support maintenance and dismantling work on plant equipment.
*Illustrative imageIntellectual productivity and energy-saving behavior
Aiming for new low-environmental-impact lifestyles, the lab develops technologies for measuring human behavior. It studies methods for measuring and evaluating intellectual productivity, methods for encouraging energy-saving behavior, and new communication methods that make use of ICT.
*Illustrative imageDialogue on new energy and risk
Focusing on new energy sources such as hydrogen energy and on high-level radioactive waste, the lab investigates whether they can be accepted by society and proposes new methods for promoting communication among people with different positions.
