http://masahirofurukawa.jpI am interested in designing human interfaces based on the properties of the human sensory-motor integration mechanisms.
More specifically, I am focusing on sensory experiences and body movements that do not reach the conscious level, by finding ways to record those experiences — since they are difficult to be assessed verbally — and to imperceptibly induce such movements.
I am also interested in potential applications that could be derived from the results of my research, such as the transfer of percepts, body movements, skills, and the sense of immersion.
