“Transfantome: Transformation Into Bodies of Various Scale and Structure in Multiple Spaces” by Izumihara, Sasaki, Ogino, Takamura and Inami
Conference:
Experience Type(s):
Title:
- Transfantome: Transformation Into Bodies of Various Scale and Structure in Multiple Spaces
Program Title:
- New Technologies Research & Education Adaptive Technology
Organizer(s)/Presenter(s):
Description:
Transfantome is a novel robot interaction in which the user seamlessly changes or simultaneously uses “bodies” of different sizes, structures, and positions. By combining various bodies, we expand our range of power, dexterity, and the place we act, and it brings us unexplored experiences or highly-efficient work.
