Design of Weight: How do we feel force, and how can we apply it to product design?
November 29, 2016 at Kashiwanoha Conference Center, Kashiwanoha, Japan
Workshop on AsiaHaptics 2016
Objectives:
This workshop will discuss how we feel force, and try to design comfortable weight. It is composed of lectures, and a hands-on experience program of making various products. Through this workshop, we expect that the participants will be interested in what comfortable weight is, understand the applicability and potentiality of comfortable weight, and have an idea for basic researches of comfort perception and applications into industrial products.
Significance and Impact:
Our workshop gives broader impacts for participants. As stated above, understanding the weight feeling is important not only for raising proper questions in haptics research but also for applying this knowledge into consumer product design in manufacturing. We handle both of these topics at the same time and provide participants with comprehensive understanding of weight feeling. Proposed workshop is the best opportunity for learning the outcome of basic research on the weight perception in short time.

Creation: |
* The numbers of provided materials are limited. If participants are too many, we will make groups.
The workshop will be of general interest to industrial or academic researchers on haptic/tactile design, haptic/tactile devices, and haptic/tactile perception, and artist and educators who are not familiar with haptics but who wish to establish haptic/tactile design and possible applications. Students who will start haptic researches are also welcomed audience.
