Visualization of Historical Landscapes in Osaka

Cityscapes of the Dotonbori area of Osaka, Japan, around 1919 were visualized using 3D-CG and interactive contents for education and sightseeing purposes were developed. These contents have been exhibited effectively in public and would be utilized not only for historical research but for regional promotion of tourism in Osaka.

Visualization of Color as Birds See It

A system that ornithologists can use for looking at 3D models of birds as if through the eyes of other birds, overcoming the limits of the human visual system.

Dream Board: a Visualization System by Handwriting Recognition

We propose a visualization system named a dream board that is able to communicate with handwriting recognition in multiple various languages. The contributions are to reduce miscommunication, to learn second language for education, and to provide a platform of digital signage contents.
