\nI worked\u00a0in\u00a0Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology from 2001 to 2003 in\u00a0a research related to knowledge creation and VR technologies. I\u00a0explored, implemented, and evaluated the utilizing of collaborative virtual environment, equipped with some learning functionality, in knowledge creation. From 2003 to 2006, I\u00a0worked at the Virtual System Laboratory in Gifu University as a researcher where I had involved in a collaborative project with the industry where I\u00a0had the chance to lead the software development for Haptic Interface Robot (HIRO). The\u00a0work was recognized by NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization) and exhibited at the World Expo 2005 and considered as one of the Next-Generation Robots and haptic interface. In \u00a0Iwate University I had been involved in exploring the laser projection technologies and laser graphics. I\u00a0proposed an innovative new method for drawing and optimizing graphics on laser display and obtained an international patent in this method. I am currently working on many projects related to VR, Gaming, and Interactive Media.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

<\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div>Haptic Cooperative Virtual Workspace: Architecture and Evaluation<\/h3>
<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\tThe Haptic Cooperative Virtual Workspace (HCVW), where users can simultaneously manipulate and haptically feel the same object, is beneficial and in some cases indispensable for training a team of surgeons, or in application areas in telerobotics, and entertainment.<\/p>\n
In this research we proposed an architecture for the haptic cooperative workspace where the participants can kinesthetically interact, feel and push each other simultaneously while moving in the simulation. This involves the ability to manipulate the same virtual object at the same time. A setup of experiments carried out to investigate the haptic cooperative workspace is reported. A new approach to quantitatively evaluate the cooperative haptic system is proposed, which can be extended to evaluate haptic systems in general.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> <\/li>
