Abstract—Facial expressions convey emotions. However, not all people are good at understanding such expressions in daily communication. To address this issue, we herein use “SUGOMIMI,” a lightweight device that does not require a power source to expand facial expressions. SUGO-MIMI expands eyebrow movements by connecting the eyebrows to thin plates, imitating cat ears attached to […]

In this demonstration, people can observe the fetus and the inside of the womb through an HMD and feel like returning to the fetus stage. In order to get closer to the feeling of being in the mother’s womb, people are wrapped in cloth using the Japanese method called “Otona-Maki”.

This study develops a portable virtual reality (VR) system that brings users back into the fetal state of relaxation. It explores the effects of being swaddled in a stretchable cloth that simulates the feeling of being in the mother’s womb.

In this demonstration, people can watch the body of the fetus and the inside of the womb through HMD and feel like returning to the fetus. In order to get closer to the feeling of being in the mother’s womb, people are wrapped in cloth by the Japanese method called “Otona-Maki”.

Life is bright. Beautiful life transcends all things. We think a fetus which is the root of humanity is “light”. A fetus living in mother’s womb is the hope and future of humanity.

Robots all over the world stopped moving because of a large-scale computer virus.
In that situation, two robots which can move were left in a big bird cage.
The big bird cage is a protector that guards against computer viruses.
The “Montone chair” which is in the big bird cage is an interface that allows people to communicate with robots.

With faith that love exceeds everything, using virtual reality system and a humanoid robot, we imagine and express the future that humans can romance, touch and leave offspring with robots, and “destroy” current common sense.

When we met various trials in our life, we sometimes think “If I could be born again …,” “If I could go back before I was born …”. In this work, through the VR prenatal experience of being wrapped by a big womb, you can get the feeling of before being born. It is our pleasure that this work become a trigger to regain true natural self by being wrapped in the warmth of parents through returning to the fetus and being aware of the feeling that “People are surely loved by someone.”
