Ph.D. Candidate · Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo
B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering (2018). M.Eng. in Intelligent and Mechanical Interaction Systems (IMIS) from the University of Tsukuba (2022). After briefly enrolling in the Empowerment Informatics doctoral program at Tsukuba, joined the Information Somatics Laboratory (稲見・門内研究室) at the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST), The University of Tokyo, in October 2022 to pursue a Ph.D.
Research interests: Embodied HCI, VR / AR, Robotics, and Machine Learning.
— Projects
PanoSomaFly →
An immersive drone teleoperation prototype combining live 360° video with body-based flight control, exploring how people look around and steer while flying remotely.
AdaptiveFly →
A bio-congruent embodied 3D flight technique for navigation and teleoperation, accepted to SIGGRAPH Asia 2026 Emerging Technologies.
MoHeat Evo ↗
A directional thermal headphone for spatial audio, accepted to SIGGRAPH Asia 2026 Emerging Technologies. With Suntory Global Innovation Center.
Syn-Leap ↗
A symmetric wearable telepresence system that lets multiple users mutually share their outdoor surroundings through 360° video, audio, and AR glasses while walking across distant locations.
Diseased Crop AR →
An AR + drone assistance system for farmers. RTK-GNSS aerial photos from a drone locate diseased crops; a mobile AR app then overlays in-field guidance to find and remove them.
