About Project
The Embodied Media Project in Keio University Graduate School of Media Design aims to create future media technologies that record, share, enhance, and even create the kind of experiences that we have through our bodies. Haptics, VR, Telexistence & Enchanted Things － By studying embodied informatics in human interaction, we design embodied experiences that entertain, empathize, and empower us.
