Inami/Monnai Laboratory and Chiba Institute of Technology's Future Robotics Technology Center (fuRo) have collaboratively developed "Chainy," a chair-type tactile presentation device based on a new technology. In order for the people to experience this achievement, the Chainy is open to the public at Chiba Institute of Technology Tokyo Skytree Town® campus on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays until December 18.
"Chainy" is collaborated achievement developed based on "TorsionCrowds", a fundamental technology developed by Arata Horie, a project assistant professor in the "JST ERATO Inami JIZAI Body Project" and his group, and its implemented lightweight mechanism was designed by Hideaki Yamato, deputy director of fuRo, and his group.
At the exhibition, visitors can enjoy a tactile, full-body experience with fireworks projected on a giant 15-meter-wide screen. Please come and visit us.
