Fabrication, Interaction & Perception Laboratory 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.
Research Themes
Digital (Food) Fabrication
We develop fabrication and systems to meet personal needs. We also contribute to the food research through the Human-Food Interaction to make a preference food for different group of users.

Perception Driven Interaction
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.

Novel Interaction Metaphor
We develop new interaction techniques aimed at addressing challenges in everyday life. 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.
