IEEE VR 2012 is the premier international conference and exhibition on virtual reality.
I made an poster presentation and a fast-forward oral presentation titled "Vibration Reproduction for a Virtual Yamahoko Parade System".
A lot of researchers interested in our research on digital museum that is an application of virtual reality to humanities.
The conference featured keynote speeches such as "Taking the 'Virtual' Out of Virtual Reality" by Prof. Carlo H Sequin, "What's Next?: The Third Wave in Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques" by Prof. David J Kasik, and "Isn't All Reality Really Virtual?" by Prof. James J Blascovich.

The symposium "Human Body Motion Analysis with Motion Capture" ("Motion Capture Symposium" for short) is organized by the Dance Archive Project under the Global COE Program. The project and the symposium were originally started in the year 2003 under the former COE Program called 21st Century COE Program. The purposes of the Dance Archive Project include: (1) Digital archiving human body motions of intangible cultural properties especially traditional dance by using a motion capture system, (2) Numerical and quantitative analysis as well as qualitative analysis of dance body motion data, (3) Analysis and evaluation of body motion by utilizing biophysical and biomechanics information, (4) Research on representation of dance body motions and interactions with virtual dancers in virtual environments. The project consists of faculty members, researchers in our university and also visiting researchers from other universities in Japan. They are from both engineering and humanities backgrounds.
This year the symposium celebrates its 9th year. We invited Prof. Nadia Magnenar-Thalmann at Nanyang Technological University, who is one of the most famous researchers on CG and VR, to give us the invited talk on her latest research topic "Videocapturing for Medical Applications". We also invited Mr. Bo Wright at Motion Analysis Studios to give us a special talk on "The Latest Technology and Trends in Motion Capture Systems". Other researchers also introduced their latest researches in general session. A demonstration session of MEXT Digital Museum Project was organized at the same venue. The researchers exchanged their innovative ideas in an open atmosphere.

In this conference, I has made a presentation on "A Labanotation Editing Tool for Description and Reproduction of Stylized Traditional Dance Body Motion" and was honored to receive the 2011 Bursary Award, for young researchers, from the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations. Therefore, I would like to thank Prof. Hachimura and the GCOE program with all of you directly and indirectly giving me comments and suggestions in my research so that my research paper was qualified.
]]>約 70名の参加者には大学生や学外関係者も多く,各講演者の発表を真剣に聞き入っていた.特に,Daniel Thalmann教授の文化遺産のVRや群衆シミュレーションのプレゼンは最先端のもので,その映像に多くの人が見入っているのが印象的であった.ま た,Christopher Bellaci氏の「アバター」を始めとする映画製作やゲーム制作の紹介より,モーションキャプチャの現実的な問題が投げかけられた.国内外において今後 のネットワークの広がりにも期待できるシンポジウムとなった.

]]>I’m going to talk about my journey in Singapore, financial supported by Daikokai Program, Ritsuemeikan University. My purpose is to present my research paper in the Nicograph International Conference 2010, organized by Japanese Society of Art and Science. This conference was held in the Furama Riverfront during June 18-19, 2010. On the conference days, there are 25 papers and 19 posters as well as three invited speakers.
The conference started with Prof.Adrian David Cheok, who is currently the Director of the Mixed Reality Lab, National University of Singapore. His talk introduced the project aiming to develop new types of human communications and entertainment environments which can increase support for multi-person multi-modal interaction and remote presence. He gave an exciting example like a mother trying to assist her daughter’s cooking while both had been living apart together.
On the end of first day, the second invited speakers are Prof. Naoko Tosa and Ryohei Nakatsu, who are from Kyoto University and National University of Singapore, respectively. They showed their research of customizing and animating the traditional Japanese paintings. Their project becomes an application on Apple iPhone and iPod Touch.
My presentation is in the third session, named CG animation. I talked about Realistic Expression of Body Motion and Environments in Laban Editor, which is one part of my dissertation. Of course, I was glad to present my work here; however, the talk is slightly limited to 12 minutes so as to allow a couple questions.
Last but not least, Prof. Nadia Magnenat-Thalmann, who is the third invited speaker, gave a talk about her great achieved projects relating mixed reality, modeling techniques, clothing simulation, etc. One of her works, Virtual Life in Pompeii much impressed me.
