About
Kazuyuki Fujita is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction and virtual reality, specializing in encountered-type haptics and robotic room-scale systems. His work fundamentally reimagines how users physically interact with virtual environments by developing autonomous robotic props that simulate real-world haptic feedback—such as walls, doors, and partitions—without requiring users to wear cumbersome devices. His most influential paper, "ZoomWalls" (45 citations), introduced a coordinated swarm of robotic wall-shaped props for haptic feedback in VR, while "WaddleWalls" (25 citations) extended this concept to interactive workspace partitioning. More recently, "InflatableBots" (15 citations) combines mobile robots with inflatable structures for safe, large-scale haptic interaction, and "RedirectedDoors+" (11 citations) advances visuo-haptic door-opening redirection to compress physical space requirements. Fujita’s contributions span over two decades, from early work on mobile robot path planning (2005) to cutting-edge systems like "UbiSurface" and "LoopBot" that support continuous haptic feedback and planar interactions in room-scale VR. His research has accumulated over 130 citations, demonstrating significant impact on both academic and practical applications in immersive environments and interactive workspaces.
