This talk of Pr. Kiyoshi Kiyokawa made in October 30th, 2020 has been given during the International Congress of Extended Reality in Sciences (https://dimensionsxr.com) organized by the Swiss Society of Virtual and Augmented Reality (SSVAR – https://ssvar.ch)
#Bio
Professor at Nara Institute of Science and Technology, leading Cybernetics and Reality Engineering Laboratory (CARE Lab).
I received my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in information systems from Nara Institute of Science and Technology in 1996 and 1998, respectively. I was a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 1998.
I worked for Communications Research Laboratory (current National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT)) from 1999 to 2002.
I was a visiting researcher at Human Interface Technology Laboratory of University of Washington from 2001 to 2002. I was an Associate Professor at Cybermedia Center, Osaka University from 2002 to 2017.
My research interests include virtual reality, augmented reality, human augmentation, 3D user interfaces, CSCW, and context awareness. I have been involved in organizing IEEE and ACM conferences, such as IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR), IEEE Virtual Reality, IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC), IEEE Symposium on 3D User Interfaces (3DUI), and ACM Virtual Reality Software and Technology (VRST).
#Abstract
VR and AR technologies can be used to overcome physical constraints and maximize individual abilities and promote social participation and contribution. For example, it is possible to redesign the inherent visual ability using advanced head-mounted displays. In this talk, I will introduce the technology for flexible modulation of reality and its future prospects, along with various research examples that I have been involved in. In particular, I will introduce examples of improving QoL in various scenes of daily life using intelligent real-time video conversion using technologies such as deep learning.
