Research Projects by Takeo Igarashi

I have been working on user interface and computer graphics (geometric modeing). As for user interface research, my goal is to establish an interaction style that overcomes the limitations of current GUIs. As for computer graphics, my goal is to enable people to generate advanced media contents such as 3D models and animation, as well as functional real world objects such as clothing and furniture without extensive training.
