Our mission: Development of human resources and technology for cultural diversity
This incubation laboratory was inaugurated in 2014 in order to contribute to realization of a culturally diverse society through inter-media art and science studies. Our laboratory consists of a study group on entertainment (leader: Prof. Hirose) and a study group on acoustics (leader: Prof. Yamasaki). It also facilitates the development of human resources who create content and advance communication across boundaries of regions, languages, generations, and principles.
