Our proposal for Japan Prize Heisei Memorial Research Grant Program was accepted!

Our research proposal “Vision design of the post-Corona workstyle with augmented telework” was accepted by Japan Prize Heisei Memorial Research Grant Program 2021! This grant program is operated by the Japan Prize Foundation.

  • Title: Vision design of the post-Corona workstyle with augmented telework
  • Abstract: The aim of the project is to design a vision of the new workstyle realized by augmented teleworking technologies (i.e., multi-modal interface, VR, avatar). We analyze the current problems of the work/life style in urban areas and design a new workstyle vision through citizen participation and virtual work experience with VR.
