F rom a very young age, I have been interested in working in electronics. The first time I touched an electronic circuit and machine was when I was about two years old, and I was allowed to dismantle a VCR before it was thrown away. In junior high school I encountered the RoboCup, and I acquired the capability to give shape to ideas by deepening my understanding of both hardware and software.
The root of my passion is achieving full dive virtual reality (FDVR). Instead of waiting for the development of scientific technology that enriches our lives, I want to become a person who is on the front lines of development and the creation of joy.
Using XR technology, I would like to further expand the world that can be recognized by humans, and to increase the quality of daily life. That is the world that I am aiming for, and what I want to achieve.
