Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

鑑賞者が作品に手で直接触りながら、あるいは搭乗しながら「時間」・「空間」・「重力」などを感じとることができる触知・体験型作品群を継続的に制作し、各種展示会や国際学会（International Society for Geometry and Graphics，ASBDA International Conference等）において発表してきた。
本研究では、これまでで得られた研究成果をもとに、体験型触知教育遊具として初等教育へ導入することを目的に小型化を図り、小学校において授業実践を試行した。これにより近年、日本においても注目され始めている「STEAMS教育」への展開の可能性を確認できた。
