معرفی
Mai Otsuki is an Associate Professor in the Department of Information and Computer Science at Keio University's Faculty of Science and Technology, specializing in Human-Computer Interaction with a focus on Augmented and Virtual Reality systems. Her research spans nearly two decades, with an extensive publication record in top-tier venues including CHI, UIST, VRST, and IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics.
Dr. Otsuki's primary research interests center on developing novel interaction techniques for augmented and virtual environments, particularly focusing on remote collaboration, spatial interfaces, and haptic feedback systems. Her work addresses fundamental challenges in how humans perceive and interact with virtual elements, with practical applications in remote instruction, industrial training, sports education, and service industry skill development. She has pioneered approaches for gaze representation, semantic labeling in AR, and physical interaction with virtual objects.
Her recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate continued innovation in applying AR/VR technologies to practical domains including industrial machinery operation, shopping experiences, and assembly tasks, with growing emphasis on physiological metrics and cognitive load assessment. Her work consistently bridges theoretical HCI principles with real-world applications, showing particular strength in experimental design and user-centered evaluation methodologies.
Dr. Otsuki has established a robust collaborative network with researchers across Japan and internationally, frequently working with Hideaki Kuzuoka, Asako Kimura, Fumihisa Shibata, and Hideyuki Tamura. Her research group appears to focus on developing practical AR/VR systems that address specific human performance challenges in collaborative and instructional contexts.
