Outline of Final Research Achievements

We aimed to realize an authoring system that can create Web presentations similar to "PowerPoint slides" with less effort than creating individual programs. In the first year and the next year, I generally achieved my research goals, and I was able to exhibit the results in the permanent exhibitions and special exhibitions of my institution. However, in the final year, we were forced to take measures against the new coronavirus (COVID-19), so we changed the schedule and developed the non-contact information terminal "Sawarazu Mekuri". As a result, research presentation and exhibitions were held.
