Research field and Human resources required | In future telecommunications, it is expected that people will be able to communicate with each other in the cyber/virtual space with objects and information from the physical/real space they are located. The successful key to realize such rich telecommunication is to unlock “communication with nonverbal information” by appropriately conveying the subtleties of “non-spoken signals,” which plays an important role in our daily interpersonal understanding. We hope creating AI for “nonverbal information” to build an accessible and inclusive society that accommodates diversities in physical competences, cultures, gender, etc.In April 2023, the Research Institute of Electrical Communication, Tohoku University established a new Interdisciplinary ICT Research Center for Cyber and Real Spaces to accelerate research and development of “telecommunication with nonverbal information” through interdisciplinary integration. This center will synergize basic and applied AI research, networks and security, human sciences (psychology, brain sciences), human-computer interactions, and VR/AR/MR communication technologies, to impact the society with the research results.
