As steps toward making the Human Centric Intelligent Society a
reality, Fujitsu employed three approaches in R&D for advanced
technology: support for human decision-making and action
through ICT, knowledge creation by leveraging information, and
optimized linkage of people, things and social infrastructure.
(1) User Interface Technology Enabling Seamless and
Unobtrusive Connections between Operations
and Services in Real-World ICT Devices
By leveraging intuitive and simple operation, Fujitsu developed
field-support technologies to enable greater efficiencies in on-site
tasks and operations outside of office environments, in the form of a
glove-style wearable device that enables display of workflow and
other data when worn, and is triggered by contact with objects, fea-
tured with a world’s first, next-generation user interface that enables
3D space-based touch operation by using an ordinary webcam for
high-resolution, high-speed detection of fingertip position.
Fujitsu also developed technology for realizing interfaces that
fully engage the human senses, including the industry’s first
haptic (tactile) sensory touchscreen that uses ultrasonic vibra-
tions to alter friction between the finger and touchscreen surface,
enabling the user to feel tactile sensations such as smooth and
rough textures. Also developed was an innovative service featur-
ing a diverse array of voices and tones that can be flexibly lever-
aged to convey information with ease and clarity, through a rich
repertoire of expressive voice options.
