Research
The Kurihara Laboratory works on human-computer interaction and entertainment computing. We build working systems that use information technology in unexpected ways and evaluate them with people. Recent topics include support for competitive karuta, game controllers made by 3D printing, and systems that turn everyday actions into play.
