Apr 2007 Newsletter: Toshi's Monthly Note
I finally finished writing report papers which dues were March and could take time to relax walking the town of Kyoto in the late
afternoon the other day. I saw cherry trees in full bloom along a small stream called Takasegawa-river located between the area of
Gion, where is famous for traditional district of Kyoto. Actually, it took about fifteen minutes by walking from Pangaea Kyoto R&D
center. I appreciated the Japanese Spring season and recalled that this was the season when I moved to Kyoto from Tokyo last year.A year in Kyoto has flied like an arrow but was filled with lots of progresses.
In March, we had a simultaneous Webcam Activity connecting Mie University, Japan and the Mizy centre, Seoul. I took part in a
Korean side as a technical leader. As technical staffs and I were all well-prepared doing rehearsals carefully, the event run
smoothly without any problems even though we tried new activity menus for the first time. I was glad to see children play
cheerfully and enjoy communicating each other.
We have held these simultaneous activities connecting 2 locations before. And we are planning to have a big event connecting 3 locations via Webcam at the same time within this year. This 3-location Webcam system logic to adjust a timing of audio and video is different from the 2-location one. Pangaea held a big meeting to discuss a network and a system towards its realization in the end of March. It was so nice of Professors and researchers of Kyoto University that they gave us a lot of advices and comments. Utilizing these advices, I will make a plan for enjoyable playground for bonding that can be achieved by a 3-location simultaneous-activity with Yumiko Mori, who is responsible for contents.
In the last week of March in Kyoto, a board member, Mr. Sanada, Yumi and I had a meeting to discuss the future strategy of Pangaea organization. He is a professor who is very knowledgable and active worldwide with international relations background. He is one of the Pangaea's greatest brains. It was so kind of him that he came from Tokyo to Kyoto only to participate the 2 hour-meeting with us and provided us insightful advice as usual. I am much honored to have great supports from many advisers who sympathize with our mission. You are Pangaea's irreplaceable treasure and I wish for your continuous support!
