Recent popularization of information technology has shed light to
the importance of the user-centered computing environment.
Insufficient understanding of the computer architechture inevitably
leads general users to make an easy-to-correct mistakes.
Conversely speaking, if users are not required to understand the
basic knowledge of computer architechture, it would be easier
for them to operate computers and the possibility of computers
would be greatly enhanced.
In this Research Project, we are aiming to make the computer
more transparent and more friendly.
In the first step to realize the Human-centered Computing Environment,
we've been developing a interface system that can understand
user's gesture in the real world.
In today's globalized world, the basic skills of English are getting more and more important. Conventional method of teaching English greatly expected the learner to be enthusiastic, and students who have different lerning curves were forced to endure the standardized education. It is practically impossible for the teachers to educate students in a flexible way because the number of students is too large. I believe computers can play a role that gives the learner the opportinity to keep their motivation high and the means to evaluate themselves more personally. The idea of Computer Aided Instruction is not new, but has the possibility of breaking through the limitations conventional teaching methods entailed in themselves.
