He is thinking about information presentation and sharing methods that people share together.

Currently his mainly focusing on spatial projection type information presentation technology, and with the challenge being to display aerial images in many different kinds of places in real space. In particular, he has achieved good results in a system based on using reflection from environmental materials, display separation method, and designing ambient lighting aerial image. This research was were selected for the "innovative technologies awards" for 2017 and 2018.

He would like to establish this expression technology for actual public spaces. Please contact us for more information about our research.
