About

Takashi Miyaki is a researcher at the forefront of human-computer interaction, with a focus on telepresence, embodied communication, and augmented reality. His work tackles the fundamental challenge of bridging physical distance in remote collaboration, particularly by enhancing the sense of presence and non-verbal cues. Miyaki’s major contributions include the development of "ScalableBody," a system that dynamically adjusts a telepresence robot’s face position to match a remote partner’s posture—whether standing or sitting—addressing a critical barrier to natural conversation. He further advanced the field with "OmniGaze," a telepresence system that uses a spherical display on an omnidirectional camera to accurately convey gaze direction and attention, enabling subtle eye gestures that are vital for effective interaction. With 15 and 7 citations respectively, these works have established him as a key innovator in remote communication technology. Earlier, his exploration of "Things that hover"—autonomously moving desktop objects—demonstrated his broader interest in computationally augmented physical spaces. Miyaki’s research continues to shape how we design systems that make remote interaction feel more immediate, human, and spatially aware.
