A Method for Online Participatory Information Sharing in an Event
Get PDFRecently new ways of using networks and new communications connecting people have developed, owing to the high-level functions offered by mobile phones-- for example the availability of global positioning systems, network access and picture taking. We conducted research in this field, focusing on information sharing and support for exhibition events using mobile phones.This approach enabled participants to stimulate each other by obtaining a wide range of opinions and comments through the sharing of information between attendees and exhibitors.
Based on this research, we would also like to propose an information sharing system for exhibition events with mobile phones. Our objectives are to discover and share new values by encouraging not only researchers and observers, but also the general public to participate in this system. We derived valid conclusions regarding our proposal from experimental results.departmental bulletin pape
"Project of Shepherd" - A Possibility of Art Documentary-
Get PDF"Project of Shepherd" is an artwork in which panels that depict "animals without heads" are set in public spaces, with specific focus on space in the street. This artwork was originally presented in Dusseldorf, Germany in 1998. Since then this artwork has been carried out in various locations both within Japan and abroad and has received high praise. Using the "Project of Shepherd" artwork as a motif, I made five art documentaries during the period from 1999-2006. Here I explain the outline of and make observations about "Project of Shepherd".departmental bulletin pape
Proposal of an E-mail Interface for the IT weak
Get PDFThe forms taken by existing analogue tools have strong affordance and are firmly established within our memories. Focusing on the strength of affordance in the design of certain tools and the materials used therein, we attempted to use these as the basis for the weak of an IT device. By doing so we aimed to reduce the cost to the user in remembering how to operate the device and its features. This paper offers an example of a concrete proposal for a system focused on the sending and receiving of emails. We produced a trial device that uses the affordance of mailboxes and postcards to create an email transmission system that imitates the special characteristics of the postal service. The user can send postcards by inserting them into the mailbox-like device, and can receive emails as if they were receiving postcards from the mouth of the device as well.departmental bulletin pape
Sekai Camera As Art and Technology
Get PDFSekai Camera is an application and a service for mobile devices. It is a social networking platform built upon a location-based information system that uses augmented reality (AR) technology and is centered around the current time and user's current location. The "Sekai" in "Sekai Camera" means "World" in Japanese, as Sekai Camera was thought of as a tool for handling people's view of the World. Generally speaking, augmented reality can be thought as technology that ties the real with the virtual and allows information to be manipulated in real time within the real world. Sekai Camera, by using mobile device-based augmented reality, functions as an easy-to-use information tool tightly coupled with users' daily lives. Sekai Camera aims to efficiently present the vast amount of information available on the network, and function as a wide-ranging social medium that encompasses consumer-generated content (CGC).departmental bulletin pape
Study on an Influence by Positional Precision to AR Contents with Using GPS
Get PDFモバイル端末からノート型 PC、一体型 PC まで、高性能の画像表示能力とカメラを備えるのが標準となりつつあり、GPS 内蔵や GPS との接続により野外などでの AR コンテンツの利用が現実化しつつある。この状況において、各種 GPS 測位法の異なる位置精度によって、これらコンテンツがどの程度の影響を受けるのであろうか。これらの適性について、精度の違いと AR コンテンツ体験の関係性から感覚的マッチングについて述べる。departmental bulletin pape
Illness that Two People are : About “Good Morning”
Get PDFThe most interestig film of Yasujiro Ozu(1903-1963) “Good Morning(Ohayo)” is understood that there is a simple and comical story which the brother have a success of purchasing the TV. But in spite of that simple story, there are many important points about the form of family at Showa-era in this film. Ozu made that film as expression ‘something’ between old and new, adult and children, men and women, and urban and suburb. We can find very contemporary perspective in that film and simultaneously find some lost scenes in which we at Heisei-era can not live. In this paper, I will analyze Ozu’s works and will compare that film with his pre work, for example “I was born, but…(Umarete wa mita keredo)” . And I would point out the mean of ‘Being two’ in Ozu’s world.departmental bulletin pape
Marriage as a funeral ; Discourse about “Late Spring”
Get PDFThe most famous film of Yasujiro Ozu(1903-1963) “Late Spring(Banshun)” is understood that there is a simple and impressive story which a woman on the shelf and pure-minded father are living in beautiful Kamakura, and before long a woman will be marriaged with some guy. It is very important in this film and scenario that a father must be separated with his daughter and a daughter must say good bye to her father in a similar way. In this film, the marriage is not only happy event but also represents some kinds of separation between a father and a daughter, or man and woman. So, the marriage is functioned as inducer which will destroy the calm and gentle life of one pair of family. It will be defined that this marriage as a funeral which means difficult separation by a father and father’s death as metaphor by a daughter.departmental bulletin pape
