AIST Creative HCI Seminar

At AIST (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology), we strive to develop technologies that help people unleash their creativity, which should be the prominent role of human beings in the age of AI.

This seminar series will invite rising stars in the Human-Computer Interaction field and cover diverse topics which are directly/indirectly connected to creativity support research. The seminar series is supported by the advisory board of senior and prestigious HCI researchers based in Japan.
