In this class, we aim to acquire the concept of open design through the development of interactive systems.
Even in the field of interaction design, it is very important to share the way of making, to create through collaboration, and to actively provide feedback in order to encourage more designers and engineers to participate. With this background, this class will develop lectures and workshops in cooperation with WebDINO Japan, which leads the dissemination and exploitation of open source system concepts.
Specifically, this year we will deepen our learning about interaction design and open design by putting in practice the development of embedded hardware with the theme of the future of IoT (Internet of Things) as the theme.
An overview of human computer interaction and problems of current interest. Topics include: history of HCI, human factors, designing HCI experiments. As a practice in this class, it is required to develop your own prototype of PUI(perceptual UI) / TUI(tangible UI) system, and demonstrate it for a user experiment at the finale.

This year the course will be held in Japanese.
(Note 1) Since we switch between classes in Japanese and classes in English every year, the textbook will be in English (http://amzn.to/2jOtKBD).
(Note 2) If there are no students who speak only English, the class will be held in Japanese.

Various modern human-computer interaction (HCI) techniques are used everywhere. We show the history of human computer interaction systems and discuss the ideal future of human-computer interface design.

The Web is now the platform of all the activities of the people in the world, and the architecture of the Web is still evolving quickly. In this lecture, we introduce various aspects of Web technologies by showing many up-to-date examples.
ICT has become an essential part of daily life. However, there are almost no ICT services connected to health and medical care, which we are not aware of daily.
In this course, we will look at health and medical care as an extension of daily life and redesign the healthcare system as new social infrastructure, evolving from the conventional concept of the insurance system.
The course also explores businesses that constitute the new social infrastructure, their strategies as management scenarios, and how the excellent entrepreneurs should be to implement them.
Students will be provided with a case of a business performing in a competitive environment. The class will be conducted in a case method fashion, stimulating discussion among students on a given subject.

What is transculturalism? Is it similar to multiculturalism or interculturalism? For us, it paves the way to a third possibility different from them, and this course aims to bring to light the scope and the potentiality of this concept.
The objective of transculturalism is not only to ensure the coexistence of cultural communities through a public recognition of their plurality. Nor does it simply consist of guaranteeing intercultural communications and compromises in order to protect the rights of citizens and to create national stability.
Transculturalism pays attention primarily to the individual who cuts across cultural borders and to the meaning of her or his experiences as a human subject.
Today, in this globalized world, it is a rather banal experience to encounter foreign cultures and discover others. Transcultural experience, however, is not to observe some cultures from the outside, but to experience them at once from the inside, which requires the individual to call into question her or his proper identity. As it were, because of taking root in several cultural communities through their language, one becomes aware that her or his identity is not entirely defined by her or his belonging to one of these cultures. In this sense, “tranculturation” is nothing less than ”the acquisition of a new code without losing the previous one.” (T.Todorov) Transculturalism, which is neither a shallow cosmopolitanism that ignores communal dimensions of culture, nor an unconditional praise of cultural plurality in its brightness, provides a unique domain and objective of research on human living in this world. This course investigates the meaning of transculturation given to human agents, particularly from the point of view of humanities.

This course aims to learn regional studies of the former USSR/ CIS focusing on the strategic topics. Please keep in mind that this course will be mainly related to the affairs of former USSR / CIS and those with Europe. This course will be composed by lecturers, discussions, and presentations by students. Student’s active participations are required. I would like to include the student’s interests into the lectures, so the requests are always welcome.
All students must attend at the first class, because we will decide the schedule of the personal presentation and I would like hear the student’s interests. In addition, I would like to deal with the new movement in the region and the world, so the syllabus would be changed flexibly according to explain the new situations.
In today's world, energy resources are considered to be essential for developing and sustaining economic activities. Also, the importance of energy is judged from a security point of view. Ever since curtailing global warming and preserving an inhabitable environment for our future generations has become an inalienable portion of economic development in recent decades, there has been a rising international debate on how mankind should utilize various sources of energy. Based on broader knowledge of features, advantages or disadvantages, and commercial values of various types of energy and resources, this course will aim to analyze the usage of such resources, and to evaluate the validity of regional and major economies' energy policies, with a perspective of forecasting the future of respective energy portfolios.
This course will address the basic knowledge, theoretical models and perspectives of Chinese domestic politics and foreign policy. Especially, this course will shed some light on the black box of Chinese domestic/foreign policy decision-making process.
