When PaPaLaB was established, our objective was to productize a camera with the sensitivity of the human eye (color fidelity camera) using the technology of Professor Shimodaira (currently a specially-appointed professor) from Shizuoka University. However, as this did not succeed immediately, we decided to specialize in accurately capturing colors, based on market needs. By pivoting, we succeeded in productizing “measurement systems,” with 2D colorimeters serving as the core. Currently, we strive to go beyond simply quantifying the human eye, with the aim of creating “21st century measurement systems” that attain human sensitivity by capturing how the human brain senses these inputs. We will continue to provide color and texture quantification technology to more clients.
