CV

Yoshihiro Watanabe is a researcher leading the Latent Sense Lab, a research group exploring the possibilities to invoke a new sense of reality based on the advanced technology centering on visual sensing. The key is speed transcending the human capabilities. He believes that the next reality is driven by the technological control of the unseen moment. His group invents a new type of high-speed sensing, computational projection, dynamic digital archiving, user interface, and augmented reality.
