After the presentation of CIVS’ work on the AIST Digital Transformation Grant, some AIST members who were previously unaware of the CIVS Center or CIVS project work, as well as some consortium employees who were not aware of the presence, were able to gain exposure to CIVS’ research works. They also learned that CIVS researchers and AIST members from industry and UTSA were working together to test wearable technology and make some everyday safety activities easier to track.
