SUMMARY:Emerging Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Emerging Technologies is a juried exhibition within the Experi
 ence Hall that showcases the latest emerging and innovative Technologies t
 hat aim to improve our lives. There will also be scheduled presentations f
 or submitters to explain the concepts behind these new research innovation
 s.\nThis year’s Emerging Technologies theme is the “IN(TER)VENTION.”\n\nDe
 veloping functional and experiential prototypes is a crucial step towards 
 novel technological innovations. As such, the Emerging Technologies progra
 m plays a vital role within SIGGRAPH and SIGGRAPH Asia in driving the deve
 lopment of research communities and to make a great impact on the public.\
 nThe main form of presentation is a demonstration that promises to provide
  you with an awe-inspiring experience! The best demonstration will also be
  selected and honored with the “Best Demo Award”.\n\nMotor-Skill-Transfer 
 Technology for Piano Playing with Electrical Muscle Stimulation\n\nWe pres
 ent two EMS-based systems to assist novice piano learners. Our first syste
 m use EMS to guide wrist rotation while playing tremolos. Our second syste
 m aims to improve the smoothness of scale playing by focusing on the coord
 ination of the forearm and shoulder muscles.\n\n\nArinobu Niijima, Ryosuke
