    Novel Tap Operation on Capacitive Touch Screen for People with Visual Impairment
    (The Eurographics Association, 2020) Funahashi, Kenji; Maki, Hayato; Iwahori, Yuji; Kulik, Alexander and Sra, Misha and Kim, Kangsoo and Seo, Byung-Kuk
    We propose a novel tap method for a capacitive touch screen, which is called inverse tap (iTap). Because this is operated as follows: a finger is removed from a screen first, and then put on it, different from normal tap. It enables the people with visual impairment to find a braille on a touch screen and operate a button, after remembering a button and a function layout. It also enables drivers to operate a car audio and an A/C through a touch screen instrument panel after a quick look at it while driving when they can not close watch on it.

    Virtual Remote View System in Traffic Jam Using Smartphone Peer-to-peer Image Propagation
    (The Eurographics Association, 2019) Miki, Shohei; Itoh, Hirotaka; Funahashi, Kenji; Kakehi, Yasuaki and Hiyama, Atsushi
    You usually want to know the traffic situation ahead while driving. For example, you probably want to see a situation at the head of a traffic jam. In this study, we propose a virtual remote view system in a traffic jam. Smartphones on a dashboard are connected as peer-to-peer communication, and the jammed road images are propagated to them behind. An experiment was conducted to confirm that this system works properly. Some positive evaluations for a virtual remote view were obtained from subjects.

    A Visual Approach to Pseudo Unseen Presence in the Metaverse Using HMD
    (The Eurographics Association, 2023) Funahashi, Kenji; Matsunoo, Yuzuki; Abey Campbell; Claudia Krogmeier; Gareth Young
    You may sometimes sense an unseen-presence when someone is behind you. We propose a novel method to show pseudopresence through visual perception using only a standard HMD. This goal is not to promote a clear perception of the five senses, but rather to somehow subconsciously perceive a sense of presence.
