Complex reality, 3D (three-dimensional) user interfaces, Educational Learning Support Information System

Among the various studies related to Human Computer Interaction, we have performed research from various points of view concerning the implementation and evaluation of new interfaces using mixed reality and the interaction design within complex media environments with a focus on the research of user interfaces in three-dimensional space, including immersive VR environment.
In particular, we perform proposals and evaluation of new interactive techniques that use RGB-D sensors, and of intuitive modeling techniques using mixed reality.
In addition, with regard to education learning support information systems i.e. Learning Management System, we also conduct practical research learning support methods using mobile support and context.
