In 2015 he completed his doctoral degree at the same institution, becoming the first student in the Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Information Studies to finish the programme in a shortened period.[13] His doctoral thesis, supervised by Jun Rekimoto, was titled "Graphics by Computational Acoustic Fields."[14]
In 2015 Ochiai founded Pixie Dust Technologies (PxDT), a wave-control technology startup, and became an assistant professor at the University of Tsukuba, where he established the Digital Nature Laboratory.[7] In 2017 he was promoted to associate professor and appointed head of the Strategic Research Platform towards Digital Nature and assistant to the university president (until 2019).[7]

The pavilion features a mirror-membrane exterior that reflects and distorts the surrounding landscape, and an interior "mirror theatre" where visitors encounter their own digital avatars generated in real time. It became one of the most popular pavilions at the Expo, with an admission ratio of approximately 30:1, and was ranked first in Casa Brutus's "Best Pavilion 20".[22][23][24] That same year he was appointed associate professor at the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Frontier Sciences.[25]

As a media artist, he has several solo[28] and group exhibitions per year, as well as an international communication of Japanese culture.[29] Ochiai's activities range from research to social implementation and are not limited to the expression of electronic technology. Ochiai states, "The vernacular, popular art and production process for local consumption, using something from the 'natural' environment to create a work of art, has not changed since ancient times, whether it is Japanese or Western painting"[30] and considers media art as "Vernacular Art of Digital Nature".[31]
As a researcher
Engaged in research with a vision of digital nature, he has been running his own 'Digital Nature Laboratory' at the University of Tsukuba since 2015,[35] and has also been the director of the "Digital Nature Development Research Centre" since 2020.[15][16] He specialises in media arts as well as 'human computer interaction' and applied fields using 'intelligent technology' and 'audio-visual technology'. application areas.[36]
His publications in the laboratory are in the fields of human-computer interaction,[36] virtual reality, aerial displays and spatial graphics,[37] in the field of research on collaboration and co-creation between artificial intelligence and human intelligence,[38] and in the fields of accessibility and diversity.[39] As a researcher, he has received the World Technology Award and the Laval Virtual Award from Laval Virtual, Europe's largest VR festival, five times in four consecutive years.

- MAHONOSEIKI (PLANETS, 2015)
From the 'Century of Film' to the 'Century of Magic'. It is more than 70 years since the invention of the computer, prompted by the Second World War. The 'Century of Film', in which people are connected by sharing the reality on the screen, has come to an end, and the 'Century of Magic', in which media integrated into the environment are ubiquitous, has arrived. Yoichi Ochiai, a 28-year-old researcher and media artist who has attracted international attention, brings to light the essence of the decisive changes taking place in the world today, from the perspective of both technology and art. What is the shape of the 'coming future' brought about by computers that have begun to interfere with things outside the screen? ......?[167]
- digital nature: seitaikei wo nasu hanshinkasita keisanki ni yoru wabi to sabi (PLANETS, 2018)
A sufficiently advanced computational group is indistinguishable from nature--. Digital Nature, that is the vision and manifesto of the future proposed by Yoichi Ochiai. Postmodernity and Singularity are only one element of this 'new nature'. Human beings and society are undeniably being renewed. It will bring about a redefinition of happiness, of the economy and of democratic politics. The new paradigm starts here: ......! 'We can create a world without 'gates' and 'seams', replace standardisation with diversity, and transcend the obsessions of human nature, such as individual happiness and insecurity, through technology. All we need is a vision and a passion for the future towards which technology is heading." (From the Afterword)[168]
