We exhibited our "AIplay®" at the corporate exhibition at AsiaHaptics 2016.

About AsiaHaptics 2016

【overview】
Haptics (touch and force sense) held once every two years by the Virtual Reality Society of Japan
At this international conference, researchers, engineers, and artists involved in haptics from around the world
I will participate. It is a unique conference where all research presentations are accompanied by demonstrations.
This time, 90 research presentations were given and 14 companies exhibited.
　
As virtual reality (VR) is gaining attention, this conference will focus on the fusion of VR with haptics and force sensations.
Many noteworthy research findings and research results that can be applied in the medical and welfare fields were presented.

[Event Period]
November 30th - December 1st, 2016

[Location]
Kashiwanoha Conference Center (inside Mitsui Garden Hotel, Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture)

[Our exhibit contents]
Shinko Shoji has developed a reception terminal with ultrasonic haptics that combines "AIplay®" with ultrasonic air haptics technology.
We exhibited it in the corporate exhibition area.

Ultrasonic air haptic technology was developed by the Shinoda and Makino Laboratory at the University of Tokyo.
By combining this technology with the non-contact mid-air control provided by "AIplay®",
We have striven to improve.
This ultrasonic mid-air haptic technology will be used not only as an aid to non-contact interfaces, but also in combination with VR technology.
We believe that this technology can be applied to a wide range of fields, including medicine, welfare, and safety support.

In addition, the device is equipped with convergent ultrasound tactile technology from the Shinoda and Makino Laboratory at the University of Tokyo, and is developed by Shinko Shoji.
The "ultrasonic tactile unit" that we manufactured was used in several research presentations.

This unit uses EtherCAT as the communication standard, enabling highly accurate ultrasonic control.
The proposals and implementation support we provided during the system design were recognized by the Society.
Research paper "Scalable Architecture for Airborne Ultrasound Tactile Display" published by the University of Tokyo
We received words of appreciation in the following:

We will continue to strengthen our efforts in the areas of "sight, touch, and force."
