Anna Matsumoto /antech
Researcher, Designer, Creative Technologist @Stanford.
I design at the seam between body and matter—prototyping new ways for people to feel and interact through physical computing / human-computer interaction research.
My work explores 3D Design. Not limited to Physical Design, HCI, and Interactive Technology, I also love 3D-CG Animation, AR/XR, exploring many other Physical × Digital interactions.
Undergraduate Researcher @ Stanford SHAPE Lab, exploring more @ Morphing Matter Lab.
