Welcome to the home page of VAL (Visual Agent Laboratory) of the Toyohashi University of Technology, Department of Information and Computer Sciences
VAL member are researching numerical modeling, analysis, processing, and visualization of human motion data for developing new applications of humanoid animations in industry, entertainment, and education. We regard human motion data as useful visual information for helping people to enrich their lives in forthcoming ubiquitous digital world.
