My Places at Home

Person in Charge of the Project : Sho Okawa
This research aims to explore how people divides "Home" into segments such as "First place," "Second Place" and "Third Place" or probably more finely. We distinguish spaces at home depending on when it is, what we do and how we are. Each space at home should have several meaning depending on its context. In this research called "My Places at Home," I recorded my tracks of move at home with what I did at that time. By analyzing tracks of move with my life log, I tried to explore meaning and role of spaces at home, furthermore define and redefine the notions of "Home."

Designing Visual Feedback Tools for Acquiring Bodily Skills and Practice with them -Evolving My "Body"-

Person in Charge of the Project : Takahito Horiuchi
When an athlete learns bodily skills, he or she is evolving their own "body": this includes subtle bodily sensations, with never-ending trial and error. During this process, it is useful for athletes to gain visual feedback. But exactly how do the different types of visual feedbacks enable different evolutions of the body? In this project, as an athlete, I explored the potential of the interaction between an athlete and feedback tools during the process of acquiring bodily skills. I practiced the following two methods: 1. Showing the point of view from various body parts. 2. Visualizing the movement of various body parts.
