      Our work begins where language ends.

      At KiQ, we explore non-verbal communication—gesture, breath, posture—as a primary interface between humans and the systems that surround us. In Japan, this quiet vocabulary is known as Shosa. Through Shosa, we sense intention. We build trust. We reveal care. Our design approach, which we call Empathy Design, asks: What if machines could understand not just what we say, but how we move? What if the future of interaction was not verbal, but embodied? For the AI for Good Art Gallery, we present a short film featuring a series of past works—an android that mirrors human presence, a home that responds like a living being. These are not products. They are experiments in empathy. At the Dorier booth, visitors are also invited to try VR Ikebana—a virtual flower-arranging experience where each motion becomes a quiet dialogue. In this act, we invite you to become aware of your own Shosa. To pause. To feel. This is not about teaching machines to speak. It is about listening, reflecting, and connecting—so that in every gesture, we can remember what it means to be human.
