Interactive Content Design [Kitamura Lab]
Good media content has the power to enrich our lives. We focus on non-traditional content areas other than movies, music, and games, conducting comprehensive research on a variety of interactive content which creates new value through interactions with humans.
1.Displays and Interaction Technologies
Designing original display systems and interaction techniques (Fig. 1) to make better use of visual information accurately and effectively.
2.Modeling and Controlling the "Atmosphere" by Media Space
Analyzing and stimulating the "atmosphere" of a conversation space by spatial media technologies (Fig. 2).
3.Entertainment Computing for Creative Rejuvenation
Novel entertainment computing technologies that empower people and industry in disaster-stricken areas with interdisciplinary collaborations.
Creation, Comprehension & Distribution of Digital Content [Aoki lab]
We are developing new technologies about intelligent processes through lifecycles (creation, archiving, distribution, protection and consumption) of digital content (movies, TV programs, Web pages, computer games and future content).
1.Digital Content Creation Technologies
Simple content creation technologies for all kinds of people such as automatic 3DCG animation creation system only by scenario input (Fig.3) and digital cloth fitting room (Fig.4) etc.
2.Digital Content Comprehension Technologies
High-level content comprehension technologies such as automatic metadata generation for video retrieval, 3D model reconstruction and objectionable content detection etc.
3.Digital Content Distribution Technologies
Secure/safe or other kinds value-added content distribution technologies such as high-efficient video coding, content protection, cyclic broadcasting for content distribution etc.
