SUMMARY:Emerging Technologies Talks 2: Augmented Body, Sense and Social In
 teractions
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Emerging Technologies theme is the “IN(TER)VENTION
 .”\n\nDeveloping functional and experiential prototypes is a crucial step 
 towards novel technological innovations. As such, the Emerging Technologie
 s program plays a vital role within SIGGRAPH and SIGGRAPH Asia in driving 
 the development of research communities and to make a great impact on the 
 public.\n\nThe main form of presentation is a demonstration that promises 
 to provide you with an awe-inspiring experience! The best demonstration wi
 ll also be selected and honored with the “Best Demo Award”.\n\nCome and li
 sten to their talks on stage!\n\nPhantom Walls : Spatial perception and na
 vigation without vision\n\n"Phantom Walls" generate phantom pressure from 
 invisible walls with applying cross-modal effects from spatial sound to so
 matic feeling, to establish smooth and intuitive spatial perception. This 
 method allow users to perceive phantom pressure and avoid invisible walls 
 while walking without vision.\n\n\nTakumi Ikeda, Sohei Wakisaka, and Kouta
  Minamizawa (Keio University Graduate School of Media Design)\n-----------
 ----------\nBoundless Conversations: AI-Powered Video Interactions across 
 Domains, Languages, and Time\n\nRevolutionizing video engagement, we exten
 d previous research on Time Offset Interaction Application (TOIA) to turn 
 passive video watching into dynamic, multilingual dialogues. We present th
 e Elephant in the Room project fostering discussions on sensitive topics a
 nd a global collection of narratives...\n\n\nAlberto Chierici, Soojin Lee,
  Nizar Habash, Aaron Sherwood, Bishnu Dev, Gautham Kumar, and Muhammad Ali
  (New York University)\n---------------------\nMotor-Skill-Transfer Techno
 logy for Piano Playing with Electrical Muscle Stimulation\n\nWe present tw
 o EMS-based systems to assist novice piano learners. Our first system use 
 EMS to guide wrist rotation while playing tremolos. Our second system aims
  to improve the smoothness of scale playing by focusing on the coordinatio
 n of the forearm and shoulder muscles.\n\n\nArinobu Niijima, Ryosuke Aoki,
  Yukio Koike, and Shinji Miyahara (NTT Corporation)\n---------------------
 \nDynamic Split Body: Changing Body Perception and Self-Location by Manipu
 lating Half-Body Position\n\nIn this demonstration, one avatar is split in
 to left and right halves, and the participant is free to manipulate their 
 half-body positions. This allows them to dynamically change their percepti
 on of their own body, such as one wide body or two independent bodies.\n\n
 \nRyota Kondo and Maki Sugimoto (Keio University)\n---------------------\n
 The Zoetop: a kinesthetic-aware zoetrope\n\nWe demonstrate an innovative v
 ariation of the Zoetrope relaying on internal sensing of speed and axis of
  rotation and thus not requiring motors or external stroboscopic lights.\n
 \n\nAlvaro Cassinelli (City University of Hong Kong) and Daniel Saakes (Un
 iversity of Twente)\n---------------------\nForceField: Visualizing Interm
 aterial Interaction through Floor and Depth Sensing\n\nForceField is a nov
 el system that enables room-scale measurement of intermaterial contact for
 ces without the need for device attachments. Using depth and floor sensors
  to model 3D spaces and measure ground pressure, it offers potential for e
 nhanced physical interactions by reconstructing forces occu...\n\n\nTakato

  Masaharu Hirose, and Masahiko Inami (University of Tokyo)\n--------------
 -------\nAvatarForge : A Real-time and Node-Based Body Editing System\n\nA
 vatarForge allows users to intuitively design non-human avatars by editing
  their own body structure and motion mapping in real-time in virtual envir
 onments using a node-based interface.　This will streamline the designing o
 f non-humanoid avatars and contribute to the realization of personaliz...\

 ---------\nVisual-gestural Interface for Auslan Virtual Assistant\n\nVoice
 -activated virtual assistants, such as Google Home or Amazon Alexa, are in
 accessible to Deaf people whose preferred language is a sign language. We 
 are developing a smart home device that utilises gesture-based controls an
 d signs back in Australian Sign Language, improving accessibility and con.

 ---\nSynced Drift:  A Novel Sport Using a System that Harmonises Human Mov
 ement to Transcend Distance and Ability\n\n"Synced Drift," an innovative i
 nclusive sport, employing an omni-wheel mechanism, gravity-sensing seat, a
 nd viewpoint sharing system, harmonizing two individuals' movements to con
 trol a drift race vehicle. Its application equalizes participation in comp
 etitions even for those facing physical difficu...\n\n\nRyoichi Ando, Giul
 ia Barbareschi, Midori Kawaguchi, and Kouta Minamizawa (Keio Graduate Scho
 ol of Media Design)\n---------------------\nTableMorph: Haptic Experience 
 with Movable Tables and Redirection\n\nTableMorph is a novel haptic intera
 ction system that combines encounter-type haptics and redirection. Utilizi
 ng mobile robots to manipulate a collection of concave and convex-shaped t
 ables while simultaneously creating the illusion through redirection techn
 iques enables users to interact with multip...\n\n\nAmane YAMAGUCHI (The U
 niversity of Tokyo) and Sotaro YOKOI, Keigo MATSUMOTO, and Takuji NARUMI (
 University of Tokyo)\n---------------------\nHitchhiking Hands: Remote Int
 eraction by Switching Multiple Hand Avatars with Gaze\n\nThis paper propos
 es a novel direct hand manipulation technique in VR/AR called Hitchhiking 
 Hands, which allows the user to switch multiple hand avatars by staring th
 em. Hitchhiking Hands enables natural and direct interaction with virtual 
 objects ranging from nearby objects to remote ones.\n\n\nReigo Ban, Keigo
