A Platform for Deepening Mutual Interpretations Through Pain Sharing
- 【Outline】
-
This is the world’s first* platform technology for sharing the perception of pain—one of the more difficult human sensations to put into words. Conveying to another the physical and psychological pain one feels is challenging: the other party often has to rely on subjective interpretations, making objective analysis difficult. However, this technology makes it possible to experience and appreciate another person’s pain as if it were one’s own. As well as contributing to better communication in healthcare, it can be used to support victims of abusive behavior and defamation on social media.

Mask Voice Clip—A Mask-Attached Device for Achieving Reliable Voice Input in the AI Era
- 【Outline】
- With the evolution of large language models (LLMs), the sort of natural language operations—including data input and record-keeping—that until now seemed futuristic are fast becoming reality. However, they demand reliable voice input, which the hardware of this device is able to deliver. By detecting minute vibrations on the mask surface with a piezoelectric film sensor, it can extract just the voice of the mask-wearer, in real time and with high accuracy—even in noisy environments and when other people are talking at the same time. This technology facilitates the adoption of AI in many different fields, such as healthcare and manufacturing, as well as for maintenance inspections, etc.
