SUMMARY:Emerging Technologies Talks 2: Augmented Body, Sense and Social In
 teractions
DESCRIPTION:Emerging Technologies\n\nThis year’s Emerging Technologies the
 me is the “IN(TER)VENTION.”\n\nDeveloping functional and experiential prot
 otypes is a crucial step towards novel technological innovations. As such,
  the Emerging Technologies program plays a vital role within SIGGRAPH and 
 SIGGRAPH Asia in driving the development of research communities and to ma
 ke a great impact on the public.\n\nThe main form of presentation is a dem
 onstration that promises to provide you with an awe-inspiring experience! 
 The best demonstration will also be selected and honored with the “Best De
 mo Award”.\n\nCome and listen to their talks on stage!\n\nMotor-Skill-Tran
 sfer Technology for Piano Playing with Electrical Muscle Stimulation\n\nWe
  present two EMS-based systems to assist novice piano learners. Our first 
 system use EMS to guide wrist rotation while playing tremolos. Our second 
 system aims to improve the smoothness of scale playing by focusing on the 
 coordination of the forearm and shoulder muscles.\n\n\nArinobu Niijima, Ry
 osuke Aoki, Yukio Koike, and Shinji Miyahara (NTT Corporation)\n----------
 -----------\nHitchhiking Hands: Remote Interaction by Switching Multiple H
 and Avatars with Gaze\n\nThis paper proposes a novel direct hand manipulat
 ion technique in VR/AR called Hitchhiking Hands, which allows the user to 
 switch multiple hand avatars by staring them. Hitchhiking Hands enables na
 tural and direct interaction with virtual objects ranging from nearby obje
 cts to remote ones.\n\n\nReigo Ban, Keigo Matsumoto, and Takuji Narumi (Th
 e University of Tokyo)\n---------------------\nDynamic Split Body: Changin
 g Body Perception and Self-Location by Manipulating Half-Body Position\n\n
 In this demonstration, one avatar is split into left and right halves, and
  the participant is free to manipulate their half-body positions. This all
 ows them to dynamically change their perception of their own body, such as
  one wide body or two independent bodies.\n\n\nRyota Kondo and Maki Sugimo
 to (Keio University)\n---------------------\nAvatarForge : A Real-time and
  Node-Based Body Editing System\n\nAvatarForge allows users to intuitively
  design non-human avatars by editing their own body structure and motion m
 apping in real-time in virtual environments using a node-based interface.　
 This will streamline the designing of non-humanoid avatars and contribute 
 to the realization of personaliz...\n\n\nSHUTO TAKASHITA, AMANE YAMAGUCHI,
  and TAKUJI NARUMI (The University of Tokyo) and MASAHIKO INAMI (The Unive
 rsity of Tokyo, RCAST)\n---------------------\nPhantom Walls : Spatial per
 ception and navigation without vision\n\n"Phantom Walls" generate phantom 
 pressure from invisible walls with applying cross-modal effects from spati
 al sound to somatic feeling, to establish smooth and intuitive spatial per
 ception. This method allow users to perceive phantom pressure and avoid in
 visible walls while walking without vision.\n\n\nTakumi Ikeda, Sohei Wakis
 aka, and Kouta Minamizawa (Keio University Graduate School of Media Design
 )\n---------------------\nTableMorph: Haptic Experience with Movable Table
 s and Redirection\n\nTableMorph is a novel haptic interaction system that 
 combines encounter-type haptics and redirection. Utilizing mobile robots t
 o manipulate a collection of concave and convex-shaped tables while simult
 aneously creating the illusion through redirection techniques enables user
 s to interact with multip...\n\n\nAmane YAMAGUCHI (The University of Tokyo
 ) and Sotaro YOKOI, Keigo MATSUMOTO, and Takuji NARUMI (University of Toky
 o)\n---------------------\nThe Zoetop: a kinesthetic-aware zoetrope\n\nWe 
 demonstrate an innovative variation of the Zoetrope relaying on internal s
 ensing of speed and axis of rotation and thus not requiring motors or exte
 rnal stroboscopic lights.\n\n\nAlvaro Cassinelli (City University of Hong 
 Kong) and Daniel Saakes (University of Twente)\n---------------------\nFor
 ceField: Visualizing Intermaterial Interaction through Floor and Depth Sen
 sing\n\nForceField is a novel system that enables room-scale measurement o
 f intermaterial contact forces without the need for device attachments. Us
 ing depth and floor sensors to model 3D spaces and measure ground pressure
 , it offers potential for enhanced physical interactions by reconstructing
  forces occu...\n\n\nTakatoshi Yoshida, Takafumi Watanabe, Hirosuke Asahi,
  Kashun Rin, Haruki Kozuka, Masaharu Hirose, and Masahiko Inami (Universit
 y of Tokyo)\n---------------------\nVisual-gestural Interface for Auslan V
 irtual Assistant\n\nVoice-activated virtual assistants, such as Google Hom
 e or Amazon Alexa, are inaccessible to Deaf people whose preferred languag
 e is a sign language. We are developing a smart home device that utilises 
 gesture-based controls and signs back in Australian Sign Language, improvi
 ng accessibility and con...\n\n\nMaria Zelenskaya (Griffith University, Th
 e University of Queensland); Scott Whittington, Julie Lyons, and Adele Vog
 el (The University of Queensland); and Jessica Korte (University of Queens
 land)\n---------------------\nSynced Drift:  A Novel Sport Using a System 
 that Harmonises Human Movement to Transcend Distance and Ability\n\n"Synce
 d Drift," an innovative inclusive sport, employing an omni-wheel mechanism
 , gravity-sensing seat, and viewpoint sharing system, harmonizing two indi
 viduals' movements to control a drift race vehicle. Its application equali
 zes participation in competitions even for those facing physical difficu..

 izawa (Keio Graduate School of Media Design)\n---------------------\nBound
 less Conversations: AI-Powered Video Interactions across Domains, Language
 s, and Time\n\nRevolutionizing video engagement, we extend previous resear
 ch on Time Offset Interaction Application (TOIA) to turn passive video wat
 ching into dynamic, multilingual dialogues. We present the Elephant in the
  Room project fostering discussions on sensitive topics and a global colle
 ction of narratives...\n\n\nAlberto Chierici, Soojin Lee, Nizar Habash, Aa
