Computers are not an impediment to humanity. If technology evolves more, we can create an information society that enriches people's minds. What we are thinking about is a free and flexible methodology to achieve this.
Taking advantage of our strengths in electronics and information engineering, we are constantly exploring new research areas that link electrical and electronic engineering related to hardware and sensors with information science such as AI and computational processing, and conducting research on technologies and systems that connect people and things, people and information, and even people and people. In this context, while deepening our understanding of electrical and electronic engineering and information science and technology, we are conducting research on fundamental information technology aimed at their use and application.
Examples include stereoscopic display technology for new AR/VR experiences, fabrication technology that allows individual users to freely create things, and smart environment technology that uses new sensors. Our research also focuses on the applications of these information technologies to users in the real world, and how they can have an impact on the world. Examples include security technologies that are easy for users to understand and use, interfaces that support discussion and communication, and technologies that use AI to quantify the attractiveness of various objects and events.
Through the research described above, we have produced many graduates who possess a variety of technical skills and knowledge, and are capable of developing and applying practical technologies. Our graduates are not only technicians in IT companies and manufacturers, but are also active internationally in a very wide range of positions such as business analysts, consultants, management planning, and media production. In addition, many of our graduates have started venture companies or have been involved in the early stages of their establishment and have become very successful. Faculty members also actively collaborate with domestic and international companies to conduct numerous joint research projects, and one of the major characteristics of the school is that many laboratories conduct basic research and practical applications at the same time.
We are exploring the possibilities that open up with media technologies centered on images. Rather than focusing on the most current problems, we are focusing on issues that open up new possibilities, and we want to create new technologies that will become the core of these new possibilities. This requires a steady effort across image processing, computer vision, multimedia, and so on.
