Interactive Knowledge Process Research Group

Development of interactive communication technologies for mutual understanding and creation of public knowledge

Research purposes
This research group is working on the development of a communications infrastructure to support risk communication. A communications infrastructure is an essential tool for making people’s lives livable in today’s ever more complex and multitudinous society. The group has the objectives of providing support for mutual understanding, knowledge sharing, and consensus-building for risk communication, and is currently developing a high-density interactive SPOC communication system that uses nonverbal communication modes, such as gestures, facial expressions, and animations and sounds. The group intends to develop SPOC-based applications for demonstration of facts, sharing of reality, and decision making support.
