Moverse is a start-up with a mission to accelerate 3D animation workflows and create a one-stop shop for end-to-end 3D animation needs. It is building an ecosystem of 3D animation tools at the forefront of innovation to reduce the resources needed from 80-90% across the various production stages, from motion capture to ready–to–use 3D animation assets.

At the MuSAE Lab we conduct research within the broad topics of human-machine interfaces/interactions (HMIs) and their applications. With expertise in signal processing and machine learning, we develop tools to optimize the human, machine, and interaction aspects of HMIs focusing on multisensory immersive experiences, affective computing, brain-computer interfaces, and neuroergonomics.

The MR BLS Rescue Trainer is a training system that allows users to experience realistic simulation with physical feeling in lifesaving procedures, that is BLS (basic-life-support), including CPR (cardiopulmonary-resuscitation) and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) by applying physical mixed reality incorporated with partially tangible components. The system consists of an HMD, a human chest model for CPR training, an AED simulator, and a PC. The human model and the AED simulator are integrated with a microcontroller and connected to the PC. The human model is placed on the floor. And then the user wears the HMD, kneels on the floor, and performs life-saving actions according to the detailed instructions displayed on the HMD.

“Embrace”” stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit thriving within National Tsing Hua University. This innovative project emerged from the dedicated efforts of a team composed of students from both the Interdisciplinary Program of Technology and Art and the Department of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management.

In this project, visitors become cormorants in cormorant fishing, and are offered the experience of swallowing a sweetfish. The sweetfish is taken by moving the body as if bowing, and at the same time the device in the beak vibrates to reproduce the sensation of the sweetfish going berserk in the mouth. The animation also simulates the sensation of swallowing a sweetfish by making a device attached to the neck move at the same time as the animation of swallowing the sweetfish. The device was created using Unity, and is operated in conjunction with the movements of the HMD. Three devices were created: a device to reproduce swallowing, a device to reproduce the coldness felt when swallowing a river fish, and a device to reproduce the sensation of the ayu fish being swallowed by a cormorant.

We are a research lab developping tools that use VR technology to visualize and analyze scientific imagery and data acquired from experiments in novel ways.
