共同研究グループ(代表:首都大学東京,共同:NTT,東京大学)では,多感覚ディスプレイの開発に関して新規にプロジェクトを開始し,最適な組み合わせのマルチモダリティシステムから新しい臨場感を提示するディスプレイの要素技術の開発を目指しています.ここでは,要素技術の実証のためのシステムを五感シアター(FiveStar: Five Senses Theater) と呼んでいます.類似の言葉にホームシアターというのがありますが,このホームシアターのように家庭で体験できるようなシンプルで最適化されたものを想定しています.五感シアターは視覚や聴覚だけでなく,嗅覚や触覚,体性感覚,前庭感覚などの五感への刺激を生成するものであり,革新的な統合超臨場感体験を生成することを長期的な目標としています.五感シアターの要素技術として,立体視ディスプレイ,空間音響,力覚/触覚ディスプレイ,風・香りディスプレイ,前庭感覚ディスプレイなどがあり,それらを統合する観点に
注目しています.
これまでに首都大学東京の池井研究室を中心に試作機を制作し,実演展示を行ってきました.

Finger-Braille
Finger-Braille Interface
Finger-Braille was invented for the Deaf-Blind to
communicate in real time in Japan, and it became one of the commonly
used communication methods among Deaf- Blind people in Japan.
In Finger-Braille method, the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of both hands function like the keys of a Braille typewriter.
A sender dots Braille code on the back of fingers of a receiver as if typing on a Braille typewriter.
Some examples of the
translation are shown in the table below. Regardless of the language,
Braille systems consist of 6 dots; the pattern for "na"
under the Japanese Braille system is the same as "K"
under the English one. Therefore it is easy to translate Braille
into Finger-Braille under all languages. The Finger-Braille method
enables Deaf-Blind people to obtain textual information as if
they are listening in real time.
