These prestigious fellowships are awarded annually to researchers worldwide who are making outstanding and innovative contributions to computer science and related disciplines.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Arata Jingu is a researcher in the field of Mixed Reality (MR). MR is about integrating digital elements into the physical world and making them experienceable through human perception. Arata Jingu\u2019s research has focused on the sense of touch. The form factor of the devices that are to generate the haptic sensations is particularly important to his research. \u2018I want to develop devices that end-users can enjoy expressive haptic experiences while restricting the user&#8217;s freedom of movement as little as possible,\u2019 explains Arata Jingu.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A key challenge of his research is thus to develop haptic devices that are as small and compact as possible. As part of his doctoral thesis, he developed a method in which an ultra-thin membrane is applied to the skin. This membrane emits precise electrical impulses that stimulate the subdermal sensory nerves directly, thus triggering the sense of touch. \u2018We can manufacture this device using a printer, conductive ink and flexible, printable circuits,\u2019 says Arata Jingu. Using this production method, he has explored various form factors for the devices and developed innovative approaches that can be used, for example, to add new, artificially generated haptic sensations to real objects.<\/p>\n<p>Professor J\u00fcrgen Steimle says: \u201cArata Jingu&#8217;s work is a valuable contribution to our European Research Council-funded project &#8216;Feel-XR: Feel-through Haptic Feedback for Augmented and Virtual Reality&#8217;. It is precisely these developments that this project aims to explore in terms of their marketability&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The Google PhD fellowship program is advertised internationally every year. In the 2024 funding round, only around 70 doctoral students worldwide were selected. Arata Jingu received the funding in the area of \u2018Human-Computer Interaction and Visualization\u2019. In addition to financial support, the scholarship also includes the opportunity to work with a scientist from Google&#8217;s research department.<\/p>\n<p><span data-teams=\"true\"><strong>In the 2024 funding round, only around 70 doctoral students were selected worldwide, three of whom come from German universities.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>More Information:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/hci.cs.uni-saarland.de\/\">https:\/\/hci.cs.uni-saarland.de\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/research.google\/programs-and-events\/phd-fellowship\/recipients\/\">https:\/\/research.google\/programs-and-events\/phd-fellowship\/recipients\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/ajingu.github.io\/\">https:\/\/ajingu.github.io\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Editor:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:40}\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Philipp Zapf-Schramm<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">Max Planck Institute for Informatics<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">Tel: +49 681 9325 5409<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">E-Mail: <\/span><a href=\"mailto:pzs@mpi-inf.mpg.de\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">pzs@mpi-inf.mpg.de<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arata Jingu, a PhD student in Professor J&uuml;rgen Steimle&rsquo;s Human-Computer Interaction Lab at Saarland University, has been awarded a Google PhD Fellowship.
