Anna Matsumoto /antech
An undergraduate student at Stanford, studying Physical Design + Manufacturing.
My work explores HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) through the lense of "Touch,"
focusing on Tactile Interaction and Accessibility Research.
Building on my research, I am also passionate about Interactive Multimedia, starting from 2024.
Exhibiting my paintings in 4 countries since 2020, I recognized the limitation of visual dependency.
Now, I focus on creating multi-sensory experiences intertwining audio-visual-haptic for better affordance.
01
Physical Interaction
I aim to create intuitive tactile experiences, making technology accessible
for BLV (Blind and Low Vision) users, as well as for everyone.

Tactile Aids on Educational 3D-Printing Models
Stanford Mechanical Engineering: Independent Research at SHAPE Lab
Developing 3D-printable tactile aids onto existing educational models to enhance cognitive labeling and simplify assembly tasks. First-Author Paper accepted to CHI 2025 LBW
Interactive Spheres (2025.3-)
Personal Project, Work in Progress [TouchDesigner, Arduino]
Developing reactive spheres that turns audio-visual experiences into touching. Connecting sound source directly into TouchDesigner, detect the beats, and send the 0/1 signal to Arduino.
Gesture Based Motor Testing (2025.3)
Detecting human gestures and transforming into touchable shape. Integrating sensors and running MediaPipe with Python, integrating components on TouchDesigner.
Personal Project, Work in Progress
Stream: Direction Guide Handrail
Intuitive direction guide through tactile pattern, inspired by fluid mechanics to make stair handrail accessible for Blind and Low Vision (BLV) users.
02
Multimedia
Building on my research, I am passionate about creating interactive spaces
where haptic exploration, human behavior, audio, and visuals intertwine.

Doppelgänger Performance (2024.9)
Interactive Multimedia Performance (only background video here)
(MAX 8, Reaper, Adobe Premiere Pro)
Stanford CCRMA (Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics)
Performed live harmonies in real-time alongside pre-recorded videos of ourselves playing bass sound. Generated non-existent instruments with capturing body movements, and used a MIDI keyboard to mix our voices.
Instinctive Beats (2024.1)
As the audience dances more, the melody grows louder and the visuals become more dynamic. To dive into the music, we must keep dancing with our entire body. Captured the excitement of entering the venue through "Beats."
