Japan Day 5, Tokyo

This post is the fifth in a series of nine illustrating my trip to Japan. On my fifth day in Japan, March 25th, Matt and I decided to take the time to do some sightseeing and go to the various areas around Tokyo, including Central Tokyo (東京), Ginza (銀座), Asakusa (浅草), and Shinjuku (新宿区).

Japan Day 3, WHC’07, Matt’s Presentation

This post is the third in a series of nine illustrating my trip to Japan. On the third day, March 23rd, I presented the paper I co-authored, “Frequency analysis of the detectability of virtual haptic gratings.”  It was surprisingly stressful (this was my first “real” presentation to a group of >200 individuals), but it went over well.  Matt also presented poster on a paper he co-wrote, “Discriminability of Real and Virtual Surfaces with Triangular Gratings,” which is shown in the images below.
