The field of "image engineering" has thus far been based on macro-manipulation utilizing the collective properties of photons and electrons. In order to achieve growth in this field, various limit of the principle must be gotten over and fundamental changes in the academic basis are the necessary. Researchers in the fields of image technology and nanoscience are working together to pioneer the introduction of photon and electron nanomanipulation, which will completely transform the field of image engineering.

This section represents the new academic field of nanovision science, which involves manipulation of individual photons and electrons in the field of image engineering. The research conducted in this section is intended to provide support for "an era of flexible and sensitive image communication." Students conduct research on the manipulation of photons and electrons, including their release, detection, and transfer, based on the physics of nanomaterials and nanodevices. They also study nanovision devices and systems employing photon and electron nanomanipulation, and conduct research on nanomanipulation based on dielectric constants, nonlinear photonic dynamics, and properties of polymers in nanospaces; for the purpose of universal manipulation of light for example, which includes penetration of light into the nanoregion and the expansion of light from the nanoregion.
