Hiroyuki Shinoda

Hiroyuki Shinoda is a distinguished academic affiliated with multiple institutions including the University of Tokyo (Department of Complexity Science and Engineering) and Ritsumeikan University (College of Information Science and Engineering). His work focuses on advanced haptic interfaces, ultrasound-based interaction systems, and non-contact manipulation technologies.

Education history includes a PhD from the University of Tokyo's Faculty of Engineering (1995), with earlier affiliations at the University of California Berkeley and Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology.

Research emphasizes airborne ultrasound applications in tactile displays, midair object manipulation, and sensory feedback systems. Notable projects include LeviBowl (acoustic levitation), TelekineticDealer (card actuation), and thermal-haptic integration systems. His work bridges robotics, engineering, and human-computer interaction.

Over 236 publications span journals like IEEE Trans. Haptics and conferences such as EuroHaptics and SIGGRAPH. Active in developing innovative haptic devices and midair interaction techniques, his lab explores cutting-edge applications in virtual reality, medical training, and assistive technologies.
