Methods for the archiving and transferring of traditional artisanship are needed, now that most of these skills are on the verge of extinction because of aging skilled craftspeople and few successors. With the aim of developing a novel digital archiving and skill-transferring system, we carried out an analysis and visualization of skills on a traditional Japanese decorative art, Kirikane, focusing...
The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) families are known to play important roles in intervertebral disc degeneration (IVD). However, molecular interactions between the TGF-β and TNF-α signaling pathways have yet to be elucidated. The purpose of this study was to analyze the expression patterns of Smad transcription factor signaling associated with IVDs with...
In our previous paper, we proposed an augmented reality display based on the pepper's ghost configuration that was able to display two-dimensional images on different image plane at different physical depths. In this paper, we propose the next generation of the display. Our latest display is able to display images at different physical depths simultaneously, thus it is able to display virtual objects...
Pepper's ghost is a well known technique in theater productions that allows the appearance of a semi- transparent and perhaps flying ghost on the stage. This technique has also been used with digital display to create a mixed reality (MR) system, where dynamic virtual objects are presented together with the static diorama. The usual pepper's ghost setup does not allow the presentation of the virtual...
