Digital Human Symposium 2012
Since the beginning, Digital Human Research Center continued the
research on building functional models of human and has applied the
model to industrial product design in collaboration with private companies.
We are recently challenging to develop functional models of motion and
sensation starting from model of geometry in order to enhance the
interaction between a human body and industrial products.
This year, we will hold 11th Digital Human Symposium regarding the
establishment of our laboratory focusing on "Human Centered Design". In
this symposium, two invited speakers give speeches about their latest
activities on human function and product design. Also, we will have a
last commemorative lecture by Dr. Makiko Kouchi who plays a primary role
in promoting Human Centered Design along with three speeches on the
latest research activities in DHRC and two talks on the industrial
application of our model in collaboration with private companies.
After the symposium, all the research activities at DHRC will be presented in
an open house style demonstration at AIST Waterfront, Odaiba. We are
looking forward to discussing and exchanging opinions and discussing on
Human Centered Design and Digital Human research with you.
