4. CONFIDENTIAL 2018-2023 ▶Akihiko Shirai in a page manga
5. Akihiko SHIRAI, Ph.D in a Manga - 30 years in Entertainment R&D Manga from my book ”The future of game design - Science in Entertainment systems” (2013) 1973[born] in Yokohama, Japan 1983[10y.o.] Studied programming by magazine. Made 3D flight-sim by character graphics in PC-6001mkII. 1988[15y.o.] Played NES until forget high school admission. Met camera, publishing (news paper editing) and sciences. 1990[18y.o.] Worked arcade games operator and paperboy. (Financially, difficult to go university directly) In 1992 to 1998. I studied in Tokyo Polytechnic University. "Photo engineering" contains a lot. Optics, functional chemicals, electronics, laser holographics, printings...and CG As a club activity, I immersed into art photography. Fortunately, I met to photoshop and Ray tracing program in 1994. And my first laboratory, Prof Yuichiro Kume give an opportunity to study virtual reality, I was fevered about real time graphics. Because it is a latest technology since the video game. In 1998, I was offered a job at Namco as a planner (rare). However, joined Canon, it was offered a job on the recommendation of his professor. Then, I assigned to the office administration section at the Fukushima Plant.
6. Akihiko SHIRAI, Ph.D in a Manga - 30 years in Entertainment R&D Manga from my book ”The future of game design - Science in Entertainment systems” (2013) In 2000, I moved to Criterion, Inc. in UK. It was game engine developer named "RenderWare", which was applied as an official game engine for PlayStation2. So, I got a chance to become a game development consultant in a family of canon. It was very good opportunity to study about game development and its industry. After launch fever of PlayStation2, I have some hit titles thanks to the middle ware, multi-platform technologies and shaders in early GPU environment. In this era, there were common sense "Once graphics become greater, the games becomes more fun." but in my mind, I also had a different hypothesis, "Exploring VR experience makes it more interesting and meaningful". In 2001, I moved to Tokyo Institute of Technology, as a full time PhD student. (Prof. Sato’s lab, well-known about SPIDAR interface) After years of practice about the Japanese mass product industry and its work in IT division,
7. Fantastic Phantom Slipper (1997) The another key technology is the “Phantom Sensation”, a special psycho-physical phenomenon on human skin. When two mechanical stimuli of the same intensity are applied to different locations of skin surface with appropriate spacing, the two stimuli are fused and one sensation is perceived. When the intensity of one stimulus increases, the location of fused sensation shifts to the location of stronger stimulus. This psycho-physical phenomenon has been known as phantom sensation, which was found by Bekesy, a Novel Prize Winner in 1961. This project was realized before the rumble pad of game controllers as known as vibrotactile in 1997. The system has been realized with a real-time optical motion capture system using PSD and Infrared-LEDs. In the system, two LEDs are fixed on each slipper. The locations and directions of slippers on the floor are measured in real-time. Since feet are usually on the floor, two dimensional measurement is sufficient for this application. The similar technology of this is used into Nintendo's WiiRemote as its image sensor with sensor bar in later.
8. Tangible Playroom: Penguin Hockey (2001-2003) Demo at SIGGRAPH KIDS 2003, Best Multilingual and/or Omnilingual award. "Tangible Playroom" was designed as a future computer entertainment system for children. It can provide some Virtual Reality contents with a safe force feedback and a large floor image. Players can interact with content's world using their full body. To feel force feedback, player grasps a tangible (graspable, perceptible by touch) grip like a cork ball. It is linked to encoder motors by strings. Then it can input 3D location to system. When player touch to some objects, system calculate a correct force feedback to player via string and tangible grip. Our system can provide high quality force representation with safe rather than metal linked arm system. "Penguin Hockey" is a typical demonstration content. It is a simple 3D hockey game playing with automotive penguins. The pucks are snowmen. To get points, players should throw snowmen to the enemy's goal hole. Our software has a real-time dynamics simulator then children can interact with computer-generated characters with real reactions.
9. [Book]WiiRemote Programming https://www.ohmsha.co.jp/book/9784274067501/ A Programming Study Book on Interactive Technology Using WiiRemote 　Programming using the "WiiRemote," the distinctive controller of the popular home video game console "Wii," on a PC has been attracting attention. With the introduction of the WiiRemote, it has become inexpensive and readily available, and many people are interested in it. With the advent of WiiRemote, it has become cheap and readily available, and many people are interested. 　This book explains how to program the WiiRemote from a PC for beginning programmers who are interested in applying the WiiRemote. As a hardware-oriented introduction to game programming, it explains the source code step by step. You can learn interaction techniques by yourself while developing specific samples. Languages supported include C/C++, C#, ActionScript 3, and Processing.
