Akihiro Kiuchi
I'm a first-year Ph.D student in User Interface Research Group at the University of Tokyo, advised by Prof. Takeo Igarashi.
My interest is in tools, systems, and standardizations that support creative activities such as
engineering, design, research, and so on. As for research, I am exploring the possibility of a new mixed
reality application paradigm where users can simultaneously use multiple applications from different
developers in a single mixed reality space. This will allow users to select and combine applications from
the market that suit their work and preferences. It will also make it easier for application developers to
enter the market, as they will only need to provide the functionality they want to offer. I hope this will
lead to an inclusive market where developers of all sizes can participate in mixed reality development.
