Our first symbol was introduced
Empathic Computing Laboratory introduced the first version of lab's symbol.
The symbol was based on a cube because the base of every virtual object is a small cube, even tiny, especially in digital spaces. Also it describes some hidden words which are 'AR' and 'VR'. You can find them at left and middle side.
Of course this logo could be changed suddenly. But we'll pride our first logo made by initial member of the lab.

"Hello, virtual world!"
Our Lab held the very first virtual lab meeting! In this meeting, we used a Metaverse conference system 'Facebook Workrooms' with Oculus Quest 2.
Well, even though we were in the lab related with VR/AR, we were not used to using VR Appliance(also known as HMD: Head-Mounted Display). Except that, the meeting itself was very nice! We felt we experienced the next generation conference!
