Dynamic information space based on high-speed sensor technology

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to realize a dynamic information space harmonizing human perception system, recognition system, and motor system. Toward this purpose, our key technology is high-speed sensor technology and display technology focusing on vision and haptic sense which performs at the order of kHz. Based on these technologies, our information space can obtain the dynamics of humans and objects in perfect condition and displays information at high speed. As subsystems for our goal, we have newly developed four important elemental technologies including high-speed 3D vision toward insensible dynamics sensing, high-speed resistor network proximity sensor array for detecting nearby object, noncontact low-latency haptic feedback, and high-speed display of visual information for information sharing and operation in real space. Also, in order to achieve the coordinated interaction between individual humans and this information space, we have conducted the research about the human perceptual and motor functions for coordinated interaction with high-speed information environment. In addition, we have developed various application systems based on the concept of dynamic information space by integrating the subsystems.
