Creating Future Experiences for Our Bodies
We aim to create future media technologies that record, share, enhance, and create bodily experiences. At Miraikan, we have developed activities such as workshops at special needs schools using media tools that transmit tactile sensations, and remote tours of Miraikan exhibitions using Telexistence robots. By applying human augmentation technologies, we, together with diverse communities, are advancing new initiatives.
By creating future media technologies and understanding embodied perceptions in human interactions, we design embodied experiences that entertain, enchant, and empower us, to create a future society where diverse people can each, independently thrive.
