Akihiko SHIRAI, Ph.D in a Manga
From my book ”The future of game design - Science in Entertainment systems” (2013)
▶ To be Continued!!

Manga from my book ”The future of game design - Science in Entertainment systems” (2013)
1983[10y.o.] Studied programming by magazine.
Made 3D flight-sim by character graphics in PC-6001mkII.
1988[15y.o.] Played NES until forget high school admission.
Met camera, publishing (news paper editing) and sciences.
1990[18y.o.] Worked arcade games operator and paperboy.
(Financially, difficult to go university directly)
In 1992 to 1998. I studied in Tokyo Polytechnic University.
"Photo engineering" contains a lot. Optics, functional chemicals,
electronics, laser holographics, printings... As a club activity, I
immersed into art photography.
Fortunately, I met to photoshop and lay tracing program in 1994.
And my first laboratory, Prof Yuichiro Kume give an opportunity
to study virtual reality, I was fevered about real time graphics.
Because it is a latest technology since the video game.
In 1998, I was offered a job at Namco as a planner (rare). However, joined Canon, it was offered a job on the
recommendation of his professor. Then, I assigned to the office administration section at the Fukushima Plant.

In 2000, I moved to Criterion, Inc. in UK. It was game engine
developer named "RenderWare", which was applied as an
official game engine for PlayStation2. So, I got a chance to
become a game development consultant in a family of canon.
It was very good opportunity to study about game
development and its industry.
After launch fever of PlayStation2, I have some hit titles thanks to the middle ware,
multi-platform technologies and shaders in early GPU environment.
In this era, there were common sense "Once graphics become greater, the games becomes
more fun." but in my mind, I also had a different hypothesis, "Exploring VR experience
makes it more interesting and meaningful".
In 2001, I moved to Tokyo Institute of Technology, as a full time PhD student.
(Prof. Sato’s lab, well-known about SPIDAR interface)
After years of practice about the Japanese mass product industry and its work in IT division,

Fantastic Phantom Slipper (1997)
The another key technology is the “Phantom Sensation”, a special
psycho-physical phenomenon on human skin. When two mechanical
stimuli of the same intensity are applied to different locations of
skin surface with appropriate spacing, the two stimuli are fused and
one sensation is perceived. When the intensity of one stimulus
increases, the location of fused sensation shifts to the location of
stronger stimulus. This psycho-physical phenomenon has been known
as phantom sensation, which was found by Bekesy, a Novel Prize
Winner in 1961. This project was realized before the rumble pad of
game controllers as known as vibrotactile in 1997.
The system has been realized with a real-time optical
motion capture system using PSD and Infrared-LEDs. In
the system, two LEDs are fixed on each slipper. The
locations and directions of slippers on the floor are
measured in real-time. Since feet are usually on the
floor, two dimensional measurement is sufficient for
this application.
The similar technology of this is used into Nintendo's
WiiRemote as its image sensor with sensor bar in later.

Tangible Playroom: Penguin Hockey (2001-2003)
Demo at SIGGRAPH KIDS 2003, Best Multilingual and/or Omnilingual award.
"Tangible Playroom" was designed as a future computer
entertainment system for children. It can provide some
Virtual Reality contents with a safe force feedback and a
large floor image. Players can interact with content's world
using their full body. To feel force feedback, player grasps a
tangible (graspable, perceptible by touch) grip like a cork
ball. It is linked to encoder motors by strings. Then it can
input 3D location to system. When player touch to some
objects, system calculate a correct force feedback to player
via string and tangible grip. Our system can provide high
quality force representation with safe rather than metal
linked arm system.
"Penguin Hockey" is a typical demonstration content. It is a
simple 3D hockey game playing with automotive penguins.
The pucks are snowmen. To get points, players should throw
snowmen to the enemy's goal hole. Our software has a real-
time dynamics simulator then children can interact with
computer-generated characters with real reactions.

[Labo Project] Real Baby - Real Family
“Real Baby - Real Family: Holdable tangible baby VR” (SIGGRAPH 2017)
This project "Real Baby - Real Family" is a
project aimed at expressing love and family ties
utilizing Virtual Reality system (VR). In this
paper, we described the version presented at
the International collegiate Virtual Reality
Contest (IVRC 2016). It reports system design
and implementation, user evaluation during
exhibition, and future possibilities. The single
player version of "Real Baby" exhibited at the
IVRC 2016 preview was made up of three main
elements. The first element is a holdable baby
mock-up without using HMD. The second is a
generator of baby face based on a user's 2D
facial image. The third elements consists of a
visual, vocal, and haptic feedback as well as
event generation. In the future, we are hoping
to examine alternative expressions of "love in
family ties" with this project.

VibeShare consists of the following components:
(1) “Performer” shares the audience’s passion with the performer by
implementing haptics, sound, illumination LED, and projection mapping.
(2) “Vote” makes the live programs more dynamic and interactive by
allowing live voting. A live chart and live tagging also increases audience
involvement with the program.
(3) “Emote” converts audience reactions into animated emoticons to
encourage non-verbal communication between international users.
(4) “VirtualGifting” brings a current ecosystem into hybrid live
performance. Developers can design an original gifting system and various
animating virtual gifts for entertaining payment.
(5) “Touch” produces haptic feedback from contact, direction, and
distance by using an algorithm.
(6) “GamePlay” provides a game system that enhances the experience
between player and audience and strengthens the bond between them.
(7) “Director” controls the program by broadcasting “Future Cue Cards,”
which can eliminate broadcast delays for the platforms, and by syncing
audience’s applause and reactions with the performer’s timeline.
(8) “Analyzer” improves your live performance, according to evidence. A
powerful logger and event tracker visualizes the session.
(9) “TimeShift” enriches the archived content by sharing audiences’
emotions beyond real-time.
These components use a WebSocket connection and are selectable by
programs and experiences designed for any form of XR live entertainment.
VibeShare is a set of experimental interactive technologies for XR live
entertainment that shares “non-verbal emotions between performer and
viewer” that were difficult to convey through conventional live streaming.
These components use web socket technologies and selectable by programs
and experiences design for any XR live entertainment.

Zone 1: introduction and character design
Zone 2: scenario design
Zone 3: filming area
WebXR:Sugoroku method
The 25th International ACM Conference on 3D Web Technology
We applied the “step-by-step” network play system of “Sugoroku” to
the WebXR spatial design using avatars. The player is able to remain in a
zone before moving on to the next stage. In a creative workshop, each
zone has a sequence of steps to follow, such as (1) creating an avatar,
(2) studying a scenario, and then (3) filming. This reduces the
experience time derived from different players' skills.

“Sugoroku” is a traditional Japanese board game, of which there
are two forms: one is similar to the Western game backgammon,
while the other has more in common with Snakes and Ladders. In
both cases, the “step-by-step” network organization of the
games—whereby the players have to follow the steps to achieve
their goals—was of great interest to us.

Hapbeat-Duo is an easy-to-wear necklace typed device which can present
powerful and impactive vibration.
Hapbeat-Duo has two core-less DC motors linked by a neck strap. The dynamic
range of frequency and amplitude is high enough to be perceived the
modulation. Vibrations on either side of the neck do not resonate with each
other because the connector is not a rigid body but a flexible neck strap,
made of satin ribbon. Therefore, the device can render various distinguishable
vibration waves on both sides of the neck independently.

[Review-1]How can I enter here?

[Review-1]Perfect photogenic scene...!

[Review-1] Good sight, but...
金閣寺。スマホ構えている人が映りこんでるのもいいな。一方でミッションとしてどういう組み立てにしているのか気になります。名所旧跡は映
えそうではありますが、「見ているだけ」になりがちなので、体験としての設計をより深く考えてみよう。
Kinkakuji Temple. I like the the people holding their phones. On the other hand, I'm wondering how it's going to be assembled as a mission. The
historic sites may look good, but they tend to be "just looking," so let's think more deeply about designing them as experiences.

[Review-1] Asakusa - Atomosphere - Ending
仲見世の賑わいから、修学旅行の生徒さんたちや菊の御門で祈りを捧げる流れ。「場の雰囲気」のコントラストがあり、なかなか良いチョイス。
一方で、エンディングについてはちょっとよくわからなかった。Praying tourとしての幕引きとプレイヤーの行動やマインドを設計しよう。
From the Nakamise cloudy street to the students on a school trip and the prayers with the Imperial seals. It's a good choice because of
the contrast in the atmosphere of the same place. On the other hand, I was a little unclear about the ending; let's design the ending as
a "Praying tour" and the player's actions and mindset.

[Review-2] Good sight developments

[Review-3] Fun to get lost - Power of the tower.

Over all comments:
短い時間でツアーコンテンツの基本を作る体験は達成したと考えます。
We believe that we have achieved the experience of creating the basics of
tour content in a short time.
バーチャルなデートが（性別や年齢関係なく）体験できたことは素晴らしい。
会話も大事。
ツアーナビをしてみるという体験は職業体験としてもよい経験だったのでは？
It's great to have a virtual date experience (regardless of age or gender).
Conversation is also important. Wasn't the experience of trying tour
navigation a good experience as a work experience?

How can we enhance it as XR metaverse UX?
XRメタバース体験としてより良くするためには
「ただ見ているだけ、ではない体験を作る」 It is not only seeing, experience.
「個人的な視点」「特別な体験であることがわかる」
Very personal point of view, but player can know it is very special experience.
「みんなで何かを同時に達成する」→「写真を撮る」
Do something in collaborate with other players, “Taking a photo together!”
Actually, it is not same as “Taking a photo of the Tower”.
「体験する前と、体験後は
どのような理解の変化をするか？」
Design before and after the experience.
What changes in understanding will you make?

Global Awareness for Technology Implementation(GATI 6)
[導入としては...]
・タイの学生とじっくり交流・議論して、考え方を知りたい。
・xR技術と、ニューノーマル社会での適用について、グローバルな知見を広げたい。
・将来タイに訪問するために、タイの友人を作りたい。
[テーマ]「ニューノーマル社会におけるxR技術の社会実装」
つまり、日本&タイの事情をふまえた近未来のxR技術のDXに向けた社会実装のアイデアを考えて、行動に移すためのPoCを作る体験をする。共通のxR技術分野を選び、
Issueを探し、どのように社会実装するのがよいか、コンセプトを考え、それを証明する動画を作成する。分野としては、今回は実は「コロナ禍における観光」を扱
っていますが、みなさんな得意な分野、医療や交通、教育分野などでも良い。日本/タイ社会をそれぞれ対比させながら取り組んでも良いし、1つのソリューション
で、日本とタイの両方の社会でDXを目指すものを示しても良い。他の観点、例えば今回のようにエンタテイメントや文化、デジタルコンテンツから導入しても良い
が、明確なターゲットペルソナと日本とタイのそれぞれの共通/個別のIssueは考慮する。
[As an attractive introduction...]
Having opportunities Thai/Japan students by interacting
and discussing with them. Expanding my global knowledge
about xR technology and its application in the new normal
society. (Want to to make friends in Thailand/Japan in
order to visit there in the future…)
[Theme] "Social implementation of xR technology in the new normal society".
In other words, we will have an experience of social implementation of xR technology for DX in the near future, and create a
PoC for action. We should choose a common xR technology field, consider the issue of Japan and Thailand, come up with
a concept of how best to implement it in society, and create a video to prove it. As for the field, this time we have tackled
"tourism in the Covid disaster," but it could be in your fields like medical, transportation, or education fields. You can work on
it by contrasting societies between Japanese Thailand, or you can show how a solution can be used to achieve DX in both
societies. You can introduce other perspectives, such as entertainment, culture, or digital content, but you should have a
clear target persona and common/particular issues of each.
