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)
