Fabrication, Interaction & Perception Laboratory (FIPlab) was established at Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Saitama University in April 2023. We conduct research to explore a new method, systems that solve personalization issues through the fabrication integrated with human perception. Our laboratory is also collaborating with other academic institutes and industrial counterparts to solve practical issues.

「パリンヤ研究室」 は2023年4月に埼玉大学大学院理工学研究科情報工学科に設立された．
本研究室では，人間の知覚と統合されたファブリケーション技術を通じて，パーソナライゼーションに関する課題を解決する新たな手法やシステムの探究を行っている．また，実践的な課題の解決を目的として，他の学術機関や産業界との共同研究も積極的に推進している。

Fabrication

Our team develops novel fabrication techniques designed to meet personal needs. For example, we have introduced a new method for manipulating the color of 3D-printed objects, enabling them to change color even after printing. We also contribute to the field of food research through Human-Food Interaction (HFI). In particular, our team has developed a new approach to controlling food texture using food 3D printing technology.

Interaction

We develop new interaction techniques aimed at addressing challenges in everyday life. For example, our recent work investigates a method for enabling VR navigation with minimal physical movement. We are also interested in exploring new interaction metaphors that reduce physical strain on the human body while allowing for secondary interactions to occur simultaneously.

Perception

We integrate sensory perception to explore new perceptual systems and sensory augmentation techniques. For example, our work employs a projector–camera system to manipulate the perceived softness of physical objects. By augmenting the projection surface with dynamic, deformable visual effects, our method alters the user’s perception of softness during interaction with the object.
