Nakano Kana

Our specialty lies in leveraging insights gained from researching domestic and international technologies to shape the future use of technology and transformations in communication into tangible experiences. Examples include "iButterfly" (2010), where users catch AR butterflies with coupons via smartphone; "necomimi" (2011), a cat-ear communication tool using brainwaves; mononome (2014), an IoT device visualizing the feelings of objects; Onigilin (2016), a mindfulness meditation training device; and the "UP-CYCLING POSSIBILITY" project (2023), a future kintsugi technique embedding functionality into broken objects. Hobbies include reading books about living creatures and food, and wandering around cities.
