We researched to realize an eye glance or electroencephalogram(EEG) input interface that enables input to a portable device using eye glance or EEGs without using fingers. For eye glance input, instantaneous other view (eye glance) was used. For EEG input, lighting interval fluctuation stimulus was used. In the case of eye glance input, it was possible to detect eye glances with a discrimination rate of 90% or more by image analysis using Open CV. In the case of EEG input, it was possible to detect the blinking stimulus that subjects gaze with a discrimination rate of 90% or more by transient type EEG analysis using the lighting interval fluctuation stimulus. Furthermore, we proposed a general purpose design that can input many options with a small number of degrees of freedom as an interface for portable devices, and examined a gesture input method using wrist movement.

In our research group we have studied a method to evaluate and estimate autonomic nervous activity using facial thermal imaging as measured by infrared thermography. Human autonomic nerves change according to various conditions and circumstances. Facial skin temperatures are well affected by the activities of autonomous nerves systems. Transmit autonomic nervous activity information obtained from skin temperature to myself and recognize own condition. We aim to prevent and reduce human errors and associated health hazard.
I would like to develop the system that can be used in various situations like EEG and heartbeat.Currently, we are researching and developing three systems.
1. System for evaluating autonomic nervous activity from one facial thermal image, 2. Eye-wear type system, 3. Tracking type system.

By considering the fundamental principle, we have derived the imaging theory which gives us the optics for natural 3D image display. Moreover we have developed this theory to be useful for 3D-dome display and general optics. Being based on our theory, we have practically designed lens and fabricate the real optics. By the difference in vision between the new optics and conventional optics, the effectiveness of our designing method has been confirmed. We think our new proposed method will be useful at least for head-mounted 3D optics.
