My Interest

• 💻 Applications of CS, Human Computer Interaction
• 🤔 Philosophy of Mind, Phenomenology
• Major: CS (probably) & Minor: Philosophy (maybe?)

Past Projects/Researches

• ⏳ Thinking about concepts and applications of Virtual Time

  • Just like having virtual space in VR, we could also have virutal time
    • → get rid of restrictions of physical time (linear speed, unstoppable)
  • To explain in a more complex way:
    • Virtually creating an experience of multithreaded time by artificially creating sense of sync with others
  • Application:
    • Kineto: Online lecture platform that has benefits of both live and recorded lectures
      • decieves student’s time to create virtual time experience
      • Research / Dev supervised by Prof. Inami from UTokyo
      • (Mitou-Program: Gov. gives me money and mentor)
      • 
    • Multithreaded voice communication (WIP)
      • Internship @ Yoshida Lab at UTokyo
  • Thinking to apply CS & philosophy of mind to explore this concept
  • Would love to talk/discuss more about this if you’re interested!

• Some other things I did / do:

  • 💰 Created developed economy by Minecraft Plug-in Development
    • 
    • Order book of item trading market
  • Founded Civic-tech Software Dev. Organization in High School
  • 🔬 Other researches/experiments on Computer Vision / NN / VR
    • Saliency detection of lecture video
    • Generation of ambigrams by GAN
      • 
  • Web app dev.
    • Game of Tag on Wikipedia
      • 
    • Internships
  • Shadow Play by Ultrasound Levitation Machine
    • ACM UIST Student-Innovation Challenge
  • Some studies/reports in Humanities
    • Ethics of Virtual Reality @ UTokyo
    • Comparision of development of Cybernetics in the US and Soviet (EE)

Hobby

• Fog of World
  • An app that tracks every street/places I go
  • NYC
    • 
  • Tokyo
    • 

Carrer Path

• still undecided
• probably Ph.D. in CS, HCI?

What I want from this class

• Get inspired by researches of peers/faculties
  • research process, methods, focuses, etc.
• Get to know each other 🙌
