[sci.virtual-worlds] Japanese VR Research Bibliography

fushimi@uunet.UU.NET (Satoshi) (05/11/91)

[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.

        [MODERATOR'S NOTE:  My main response to this incredible 
resource, graciously posted by Fushimi-san, is that we in the 
English-speaking world had better get our language skills in 
order!  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."
