[MODERATOR's NOTE: I received the following posting from Dr. Satoshi Fushimi in reply to my earlier request for Japanese participation in sci.virtual-worlds. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Fushimi for this courtesy. The explanation he has provided of why there is not more Japanese participation suggests that this situation will change with time. The extensive list of Japanese research and technical papers that follows is simply wonderful. I know you will join in my appreciation. -- Bob Jacobson] Dear Dr. Jacobson, Thank you for your invitation to the Industrial Symposium last February. I read your posting: As moderator, I have received many private email messages inquiring about virtual worlds activities in Japan. Most of these messages suggest that the openness being displayed by researchers in the U.S., Canada, and Europe is based on an expectation of reciprocity that should be encouraged by openness from Japan. Personally, I have had good communications with my Japanese colleagues. I feel somewhat well informed about them as individuals, and a couple have posted personal remarks to the newsgroup. However, no one has yet asked me to post anything substantial about their work, and no lab in Japan has yet to explicitly discuss its research agenda or progress. This is unusual, particularly on the eve of the Nikkei/JTTAS and Kansai research conferences. (deleted about 10 lines) I can recognize your claim, but I have other points of view: 1) The computer network is not used daily by ordinary researchers in Japan. I guess many researchers engaged in VR don"t know "sci.virtual-worlds," or have no private, convenient measure to access it, or have no habit to use a network- connected terminal daily, especially in English. 2) Speaking about "JUnet": it is a volunteer-based and solely Unix network. in Japan, it introduced "sci.virtual-worlds" from the U.S. just at the end of last year, at the request of Mr. Ishihara of ETL. 3) I do not believe that the Nikkei/JTTAS confernce is so important. I see it only as "a conference sponsored by a big publisher." I have provided you with an outline of Japanese research, for your convenience. Following is a sorted list of some recent Japanese VR articles (almost all of them are written in the Japanese language). Japanese research in our field is often referred to as "tele-existence." Many articles of robotics presumably have an internal relation with VR technology, but they are omitted from this list. The list may be published on "sci.virtual-worlds." We at the Information & Mathematical Lab, Inc., are preparing an application of VR technology for atomic-plant design/training work. This project is a sub-target of the project "Development of Applied Measurement Technology of Human Sense" that M.I.T.I. has started this year; the first period of it continues for four years.

In the meantime, how can we get the journals, particularly Hyuman, Intafesu, Shinpojiumu Ronbunshu ("Human Interface"), translated into English? Is this something properly done by the various government trade agencies? Or should the new MIT Press journal, PRESENCE, make provision for coverage of Japanese (and other) language articles? I throw this topic open for serious and immediate discussion, for the sake of the field. -- Bob Jacobson] ========================================================== A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF JAPANESE VR ARTICLES SORTED BY INSTITUTE Notes: ------ 1) Including article, commentary, review, etc. 2) Including related articles, but non-VR from a strict viewpoint. 3) Proper names with <*> are translated or interpreted by me from the Japanese name. They may be different from the persons' official names. 4) Some Japanese names are presented as Roman letter expressions of original pronunciations, because that is how they appear in the bibliographic database JICST-E of the STN international online service. 5) <#> Marked title is listed twice. 6) In the list, the name, "Human Interface", is another name for the "Proceeedings of the [number] Human Interface Symposium." ---------------------------------------------------------- ====Universities==== HOKKAIDO UNIVERSITY Nishi-8, Kita-13, Kita-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan 060 Hand with Sensory Feedback Ifukube, Tohru Hokkaido Univ., Res.
