Biography
[edit]
Ishii was born in Tokyo and raised in Sapporo. He received B.E. in electronic engineering, and M.E. and Ph.D. in computer engineering from Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan.[2]
Hiroshi Ishii founded the Tangible Media Group and started their ongoing Tangible Bits project in 1995, when he joined the MIT Media Laboratory as a professor of Media Arts and Sciences.[3] Ishii relocated from Japan's NTT Human Interface Laboratories in Yokosuka, where he had made his mark in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) in the early 1990s.[4] Ishii was elected to the CHI Academy in 2006. In 2019, Ishii received the SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award.[5] He was named to the 2022 class of ACM Fellows, "for contributions to tangible user interfaces and to human-computer interaction".[6]
He currently teaches[2] the class MAS.834 Tangible Interfaces at the Media Lab.
