Seamless Interfaces for Natural Human Collaboration. |

As computer technology becomes more and more diverse, seamless integration of different types of computer technology becomes important. In this talk, I will briefly introduce some of past and present research projects that aim at bridging seams between different user interfaces to support natural human collaboration using 3DUI, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Augmented Virtuality technologies. Examples include a collaborative immersive modeler supporting different design steps, a see-through head mounted display to support flexible collaboration that has both optical and video see-through advantages, a multi-user tabletop display supporting both 2D and 3D activities, an AR remote collaboration tool supporting both image-based and model-based advantages.
Kiyoshi Kiyokawa received his M.S. and Ph.D. in Information Systems from Nara Institute of Science and Technology in 1996 and 1998, respectively. He was a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 1998. He worked for Communications Research Laboratory from 1999 to 2002. He was a visiting researcher at Human Interface Technology Laboratory of the University of Washington from 2001 to 2002. He is currently an Associate Professor at Cybermedia Center, Osaka University. His research interests include Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, 3D User Interface and CSCW. He has involved in organizing IEEE and ACM conferences, such as IEEE & ACM International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR), IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC), and IEEE Virtual Reality.
