From September 17th to 19th, several members of our lab gave presentations at the 30th Annual Conference of the Virtual Reality Society of Japan (VRSJ), held at Ritsumeikan University’s Osaka Ibaraki Campus.

This year, Associate Professor Sawarabe, along with second-year master’s students Noguchi, Shigetou, and Cheng, and first-year master’s student Misaki, presented their work in the poster sessions.

Despite being only in his first year, Gozen took on the challenge of presenting, while Cheng delivered his presentation in English, even though it was a domestic conference.

In addition, Shigetou presented his research on AR × autonomous driving, while Noguchi introduced his work on VR × stroking interaction. Associate Professor Sawarabe also gave three presentations in total, making this conference a great opportunity to showcase the wide range of research being conducted at IMD.

Not only the presenters but also many IMD students joined as attendees, making it a valuable experience to broaden their knowledge across various research fields. We hope this event has inspired everyone for their future work!
