Japanese<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n On December 5th, the Deep Interaction Laboratory (DIL) presented its latest research findings at JAPAN PAIN WEEK, held at Tokyo Big Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are delighted to have had this valuable opportunity to present our findings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n This presentation is part of \"Research and Development Item 6: Biological Impact Survey<\/a>\" under Moonshot Goal 1: The Realization of an Avatar-Symbiotic Society where Everyone Can Perform Active Roles without Constraint<\/a>. It is a study that pursues what constitutes a human-friendly avatar, specifically focusing on individual characteristics (individual differences) and analyzing them from the perspective of personality traits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is considered that some people are suited for using avatars while others are not, and identifying these individual differences through methods other than questionnaires is a crucial challenge. In particular, accurately understanding the \"pain\" or discomfort felt by users during avatar-mediated activities is essential. However, pain is a subjective sensation, and there is \"variability\" (individual differences) in how it is rated, even in response to the same stimulus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this study, based on a large-scale analysis of 538 healthy participants, we revealed that these individual differences in pain ratings are deeply related to \"Personality Traits (Big Five).\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
