About Me
Takeru Hashimoto is currently a Research Scientist at SB Intuitions in Japan. He is studying computer science, human computer interaction and robotics in the graduate school of The University of Tokyo. He received his Ph.D. in information science and technology, master’s degree in information science and technology and bachelor’s degree in mechano-informatics engineering from The University of Tokyo in 2023, 2020 and 2018 respectively. His awards include the Young Researcher’s Award from the virtual reality society of Japan and the Best Paper Honorable Mentions Award in SIGCHI. His current research area is Virtual / Augmented Reality of haptics and Human-Augmentation throght haptic feedback.

Vision – Beyond Physicality –
Traditionally, our bodies have defined the edges of our perception, cognition, and capability. Yet as technology evolves, these once-fixed boundaries can be transcended. Beyond Physicality explores how we might re-envision the human body not as a static, biologically given form, but as a customizable, dynamic interface to interact with the world. In this new paradigm, the body becomes something we can extend, reshape, and even “swap,” allowing us to question the nature of our physical presence and identity.

I enjoy making things. Here are a selection of projects that I have worked on over the years.
