Design
Everything by Yourself: User Interfaces for Graphics, CAD Modeling, and Robots
Lecture by Takeo Igarashi
Date: 8/9, 1:00 - 2:00 pm
Location: Obuchi Lab, Room
416
In
order to help people to design objects by themselves and to enrich their lives,
Prof. Takeo Igarashi develops innovative interaction techniques and computer
design tools for end-users. His design-interface research projects have aimed
to: (1) create three-dimensional models and animations by making simple
sketches; (2) design everyday objects such as clothing and furniture with
real-time physical simulation integrated in a simple geometry editor; (3)
design the behavior of personal robots and give instructions to them to satisfy
needs of end-users.
Prof.
Takeo Igarashi is a professor at
the Computer Science Department at the University of Tokyo. He received PhD
from Dept of Information Engineering at the University of Tokyo in 2000. His
research interest lies in user interface in general and current focus is on
interaction techniques for 3D graphics. He is known as the inventor of
sketch-based modeling system called Teddy, and received The Significant New
Researcher Award at SIGGRAPH 2006. He served as a director of JST ERATO
Igarashi Design Interface Project in 2007-2013.
