The University of Tokyo's Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (Dr. Kumagaya, Dr. Namiki and the team) is leading a variety of initiatives, and one of the most crucial projects is 'Inclusive Academia Project (IAP)', which aims to realize an inclusive campus where "no one is left behind" and proactively implements new concepts of inclusion and diversity for students and researchers with disabilities at the campus, such as Tojisha-Kenkyu (Self-directed Research) and VR Accessible Laboratory. The renewed VI and website designs, where Tsubura supported the concept building and art direction, have been given a brand new look to reach out to a wider collaborators, with inspiring animation depicting unique individuals with different attributes gather at a crossing of prism.
「“誰ひとり取り残さない”インクルーシブなキャンパスの実現」を目指し、東京大学先端科学技術研究センター（熊谷研究室 / 並木研究室/他）主導のもと、当事者研究やアクセシブルVRラボなどさまざまな取り組みを実践している「インクルーシブ・アカデミア・プロジェクト（IAP）」。そのVIとウェブサイトデザインのリニューアルにあたり、コンセプト構築とアートディレクションに携わり、プリズムの交差点に集まる個性豊かな人々を描いたアニメーションで、より多くの協力者へとアプローチすることを目指しています。
