Research portfolio of Hayato Yamamoto, focusing on vibrotactile singing rhythm support.
Graduate Student, Tsukuba University of Technology
I am a deaf researcher developing VIBES, a vibrotactile system that helps Deaf and Hard of Hearing singers acquire accurate rhythm.
Presented research on Analysis of the Asynchrony Detection Ability between Auditory and Vibrotactile Stimuli on a Single Device for Supporting Singing Timing Acquisition in the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
Engaged in a research exchange meeting with KTH Royal Institute of Technology focusing on accessibility and music technology.
Presented research on Auditory-Vibrotactile Asynchrony Detection in Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing and Hearing Using a Single Device at the ISARR 2025 conference held in Nyborg, Denmark.
I investigate audio-lyric alignment, bimodal perception, and vibrotactile feedback so that Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities can enjoy singing without anxiety about rhythm.
