About Me in 2024

Resume (EN) / @blu3mo (EN) / @blu3mo (JA) / Shutaro Aoyama / @blu3mo / @blu3mo_

Bluemo / My name is Shutaro Aoyama

  • I am a sophomore at Columbia University in New York, majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Philosophy.
  • Sun Microsystems Scholar / IPA Exploratory Challenge ‘20 / Masayoshi Son Foundation 6th Generation

I enjoy designing the “reality” that is perceived and shared through computers

  • Internet space, virtual spaces like AR/VR, Virtual Time, language spaces, etc.
  • (Diagram)
  • In the context of VR and HCI research, concepts like Computer-mediated reality, Computer Mediated Communication are explored.
  • What’s fascinating: the ability to design the mechanisms of “reality” through the mediating role of computers
    • (Involves Design and Engineering)

Specifically, I am interested in designing the “asymmetry of reality”

  • Premise: There is no objective reality; reality is constructed based on each individual’s subjective perception
  • Through computers, in the “shared reality” (internet space, AR/VR space, time, language space, etc.), the asymmetry of each individual’s subjective perception can be freely designed.#intersubjectivity
  • This is referred to as Asymmetric Reality
  • [Asymmetric Spatiotemporal] Research on asynchronous robot teleoperation VR interface for assigning, monitoring, and managing assembly goals in virtual reality
    • 👉 [Asynchronously Assigning, Monitoring, and Managing Assembly Goals in Virtual Reality for High-Level Robot Teleoperation]
  • [Asymmetric Language] AI-mediated chat environment where statements are translated into different meanings before reaching the recipient
    • 👉 [asym-chat (Anjasshu State Chat)]
  • [Asymmetric Time] Product development of an online lecture environment that enables real-time-like student communication in asynchronous lectures
    • 👉 [kineto]

While working on research and product development, I aim to develop design theory

  • I find fulfillment in expanding the possibilities of the future by oscillating between abstraction and concreteness, and I am curious about it.
