Outline of Final Research Achievements

Rapid progress of digital fabrication devices such as 3D printers allows ordinary users to perform actual prototyping by themselves. To further advancing the technology, we need to revise traditional manufacturing methods assuming mass production, inventing a new fabrication method for supporting unique design and manufacturing processes reflecting personal characteristics and sensibility. In this study, we develop a new fabrication technology for effectively personalizing the shape and texture of existing 3D data based on user's preference and sensitivity, incorporating local environment information into the proposed 3D modeling process. Additionally, we design and implement a fundamental technique for visualizing and expressing digital information by fusing tactile and olfactory sensations with visual and auditory senses, developing some practical systems by applying the implemented technologies, and conducting evaluations to verify the effectiveness of the developed technologies.
