Consumers are very keen to communicate with a richer set of media and 3D shape is a very intuitive and powerful means of communication. Recently, users and developers have become more interested in capturing, in 3D, things that currently exist. New services will emerge if consumers can access 3D capture devices that are low cost and low effort. Existing 3D scanners take too long and are difficult to set up. We propose a box type capture device with which anyone can rapidly capture whole surfaces of target objects without any complicated operations. This paper proposes the three basic technologies of the capture device and demonstrates their feasibilities.

When a display area is limited like mobility or ubiquitous environment, there is a problem of hiding windows when there are a lot of windows. The focus switch is necessary to refer to the hidden window. This can be said that the context of work is discontinuous. In this paper, we propose a window operation interface with context continuity. First of all, to keep the continuous context, use of user's head movements is examined. Next, typical head movement of usually work is measured with 3-D magnetic positional sensor. A method of distinguishing intentional movement and other movement is examined. A window positional control method is designed based on the results of examination. And, an evaluation experiment of this control method is conducted and effectiveness is shown. Finally, a method of face recognition by camera which don't use tethered sensor is examined, and evaluated.

Our final goal is to encourage conveyance of thoughts using information about human sense of values (HSV). 0ne way of extracting the similarity of HSV is to employ opening statements made in turn taking. Subjects examine about one hundred opening statements and questionnaires are used to rate the strength of agreement/disagreement and the popularity of each statement. This paper presents the results of analyses of statement type and user type and provides tips for a guideline for designing a better statement database and an algorithm to infer the similarity of HSV.

Aiming at a rich and useful communication system in our future daily life at home, we propose a novel communication concept in which people can mutually share their intention and emotion through their spontaneous behavior. Since our new scheme "ComAdaptor" can adapt to and offset the differences in the structures of each room, we can create mutual real space sharing communication systems that allow users in remote locations to communicate as though they entered the other party's room in accordance with the room layout. In a simple experimental system, body motions were successfully adapted and transmitted between two structurally different rooms. The successful experiment confirmed the validity and high potential of the proposed concept.

This paper proposes the viewpoint change method that uses a 3-D mouse for stereoscopic vision modeling based on the movement of objects. Our previous modeler offered only a stereoscopic perspective view. However, it was diffcult for users to precisely create and place objects with this modeler. Based on usage studies, we created an improved modeler that adds three orthographic views to the previous modeler. Examinations showed that 3-D mouse operations do not always directly correspond to cursor movements on the screen due to camera viewpoint change. We propose a new viewpoint change method that is based on the object-move method, which makes 3-D mouse movements more intuitive. We also describe tests that confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method is especially effective for novices.

In order to realize rich communication, It is important that a system can be used in the everyday life as well as providing realistic sensations.We are working to realize the communication system that allows remote users to feel as though they are in the same place. In this paper, we discuss avatar control methods required for real world oriented cyber communication system. We propose two algorithms to share position information between users who are in the spaces that have different structure. In addition, we describe a system to verify avatar control method.

This paper presents an Immersive Projection Technology (IPT) based communication system that provides a virtual shared environment where users at remote location can communicate with others as if they are at the same location. Avatars are used to represent remote users in the virtual space. This allows users to communicate while using many kinds of non-verbal cues such as gestures or facial expressions that play important roles in inter-personal communication. This paper also reports an adapting mechanism that handles the difference of spatial structure of rooms at each user’s terminal.

This paper introduces the Real Scale Video, a stereoscopic video system that enables the person who made the image and those who see the image to share the impression of an object about its size. An approach based on stereoscopic display is detailed in this paper. The system computes object size based on the disparity between left and right images, and displays the image full-scale. An image of the user's hand that is captured by a local stereoscopic camera is overlaid on the object image so that the user can use his/her hand as a size reference. To view larger objects, the user can change the image scale interactively, and the system adjusts the scale of hand image to maintain the relative scale between the image and the hands.

Vision-based recognition systems using hand gestures to control applications like TV menus are gaining popularity in the market. To improve gesture recognition, we propose a combination of Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Distance to Border features (DtB) to recognize unicursal shapes drawn by finger motion or hand shapes such as peace sign. Two SVM models are trained and combined to classify each gesture. Our algorithm is simple, easily implemented but proper image processing for hand gestures is required before classification using the algorithm. The performance of our proposed recognition algorithm is evaluated on eight unicursal shapes and results are reported.

This paper presents the life-log utilization model to establish environmental simulation systems that use "human affordance" collected as user life-log. We envisage that combining life-log applications with a consideration of cognitive science will bring better life-log utilization. Research questions in this study are how to collect life-logs without user hesitation to exposing the logs and how we can continuously utilize the latest life-logs. Our answer to the first question is to transform the recorded data to the extent that the user has no hesitation with the automatic release of his/her life log. Our answer to the second question is to employ the affordance theory in cognitive science. Many kinds of simulations can be conducted anytime using desired data taken from the user life-logs. This simulation flexibility in program choice, data range, and execution timing leads to the future advanced simulations.

The user's operation history of home appliances includes his/her own intention in the operations and plays an important role as his/her life-log which can be utilized to know his/her preferences and/or behavior patterns. We developed an appliance operation logging system with command relay devices, "Remote Control Signal Proxy" that convert the content operated by the Wi-Fi remote control into the infrared signal. This paper describes the system architecture, data format for several types of infrared signal, and appliance state inference method for extracting user intention, as well as analyzes problems with operation logging.

We study a text input method for TV Remotes which use without looking at the operation device and at the cursor focused on a virtual key on the software keyboard. The method has a feature of using five level tilt control of the TV remote around the pronation/supination axis of the wrist holding the remote. In previous study, we estimated how many levels on pronation/supination axis of wrist movement users control tilt of the device and the result showed users control five levels of the wrist motion. In this paper, we proceed further with estimation of the experiment result and studied how to decide angles to divide the range of the wrist motion into five parts.

Web conference system is very reasonable and useful, but it is not so affective environment to hold some meetings such as brain storming. We thought the problem is bad turn taking way caused by too small size and low quality of picture and delay of voices. They do some actions to get their turn to speak in face-to-face communication, but they are hardly aware of them in web conference. In this research, we sense the actions to get her/his turn to speak and show them, so that they become to do turn taking much smoothly in web conference. We aim to spread an opportunity to use the web conference. In this paper, we investigated how proper our approach is.

We propose a facial color beautification method for video communication. The video-captured face often disappoints us, especially the subjects themselves, because the lighting environment is often poor. Inadequate lighting makes the face look depressed or tired. The best solution is illuminating the face directly with good light, but it is not always possible to realize a good environment in everyday situations. Our solution is to retouch the captured video. Our method identifies the distribution of skin color and the eye luminance of a detected face, and converts the color distribution of the entire image by histogram transformation. This method provides three strong points, which are 1) converting video in real-time, 2) beautifying the facial color even if it is captured with inadequate light, and 3) creating a variety of face "styles" by controlling the transformation parameters.

We propose a facial color beautification method for video communication. The video-captured face often disappoints us, especially the subjects themselves, because the impression of the face is not as good as we expect. We solve this problem by retouching the captured video. We studied how the experts change the color of the video to improve the facial impression in video-phone, and developed a color transformation method based on the result. We also conduct a user study to evaluate our method. The result shows the effectiveness of our method and the diversity of user preferences.

Interruption by telephone decreases the efficiency of addressees' conversations or tasks. To resolve this problem from the addressee's point of view, we proposed asynchronous communication tool that treated addressee's state by priority. Proposed system consists of sensor module and telephone module. Sensor module detects the addressee's state and telephone module is controlled by state notification from the sensor module and allows addresser to talk with or mail to the addressee. Through the trial, the addressee's state was expressed with data from the sensor module. In future, automatic judgment system for the addressee's state is constructed and is evaluated on effect of appropriate message control for the addressee in office activity.

We propose QLeaves, a tangible information container system intended for facilitating communication in public places. With a mobile phone, one can add text and photos to physical objects called QLeaves. Using QLeaves in a place creates an information space and facilitates activities of the place. In this paper we describe QLeaves system requirements focusing on the communication model in public place based on one of the Theory of Selling. It then details the design for an event at the Miraikan science museum in Tokyo as a new tool for communication through the administration of questionnaires. Finally, a summary and discussion of experiences during the event, observations made, and data collected is presented.

We have developed the Air Jet Interface, an untethered virtual reality system using air pressure to provide force feedback. Virtual objects are presented using a projection-based stereo display. When a user touches a virtual object with an "air receiver", the system releases air from an array of nozzles that are embedded in the table. The air impacts the air receiver held by the user, presenting the feeling that he or she is actually touching the object. The stereo display is an important component to make this feeling of touching an object convincing. However, we have received demand for a system that does not use the stereo display. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a new Air Jet Interface system that uses a simpler 2-dimensional display instead of stereo display.

We present visual feedback for supporting conversations in contingent auditory environments like teleconferences. To facilitate the initiation of conversations in such environments, it is critical that a caller be able to grasp how the loud the receiver can hear the caller. To support those callers, visual feedback system integrated with LED and microphone was constructed to be easily installed in daily life use. Experiments of the system were conducted and the analytical results focused on the user's utterances and psychological states show that the proposed method has effects to control their voice volume lower and louder, and allows them to speak as they want.

This paper presents the interface system,"Information Snow", which displays information on a user's palm. Employing a snow fall metaphor to capsule pieces of information, the interface induces a person's instinct to catch snowflakes. As a snowflake melts in a user's palm, information contained inside is revealed. The action of catching a snowflake makes the user focus on the information and reduces their mental distance to the content. Experimental results suggest that people felt the information delivered by snowfall was warmer and softer in comparison to information displayed on ordinary screens.

This paper is about an evaluation experiment to achieve a natural, appropriate feedback operation when communicating by using the round cushiony interface. As for this experiment, the communication by two-way was evaluated. The testee judged the change in the impression into "My terminal reacted to the movement that I input" and "Thing that my terminal reacts to the movement that the other party had input". How user's impression changed when the operation time and the active position were arbitrarily changed was measured. As a result, a suitable feedback time and feedback position for the communication were set.

Communication lacking thoughtfulness is increasing as new methods of communication that are becoming popular have no functions to allow users to behave with thoughtfulness for their communication partners. We propose an environment where people are able to communicate with their thoughtfulness and consideration to each other. The proposed system displays values from which people can estimate each other's perceptions. This paper introduces a study of how this may be facilitated through the auditory channel. In one case, the user's voice volume at the partner's ear (physical value) is displayed as a feedback for the user's vocalization. In another case, a quantity which the partner perceives with the user's voice volume (subjective value) is displayed.

We have developed the Air Jet Interface, which is a haptic virtual reality interface that eliminates all the wires or arms normally needed to provide force feedback. This interface presents a 3D image of one or more virtual objects on a table that is embedded with 100 air jet nozzles. The airflow impacts the paddle held by the user, and this impact makes the user feel the resistance from the virtual object. In this paper, we focus on overcoming the major limitation of the Air Jet Interface: the inability of presenting horizontal force. We have proposed a novel way to produce horizontal force by precisely applying the upward air flow to specially designed fins attached to the paddle. We confirmed the feasibility of the proposed method in experiments.

When talking to another person face to face we can well estimate what the other person hears. Unfortunately, this ability is lost when the communication is made at the site in which it is difficult to estimate what the other person hears, i.e. to a remote partner using a video-audio tele-communication system. This loss degrades the quality of communication possible. Our proposal, in a broad sense, visualizes information that people cannot perceive objectively. The proposed system facilitates communication by allowing people to share visual information. The key idea is to project a visual representation of the sound field at the partner's site, on the other's site. We describe a prototype system and experiments in which we observe users' responses to this visual representation. We observe that subjects understood how to utilize the visual representation without any explicit explanation; they instinctively used the representation to control the volume of their voice. The comments from the subjects confirmed that the visual representation allowed the subjects to feel confident about correctly controlling the volume of their voice.

Our target is a communication mediation system that allows a user to join conversations without any hesitation and to enjoy them. To develop this system, we believe that the factors which obstruct smooth conversations must be discussed. Our first step, reported here, is to construct a tea and alcoholic party corpus that includes the results of participants' personality and Japanese language tests. A preliminary analysis shows the correlation of a personality and Japanese language tests, social positions and the number of participants' utterances.

It is difficult to effectively convey our thoughts when the communication channel is text-based. Our final goal is to encourage this conveyance by using information about human sense of values (HSV). One way of extracting the similarity of HSV (SHSV) is to employ the opening phrases made by people in turn taking. Subjects examine about one hundred opening phrases and questionnaires are used to rate the strength of agreement/disagreement. This paper presents the results of analyses of user type in terms of gender and age and provides qualitative tips towards guidelines for designing a better statement database and an algorithm to infer SHSV.

Tele-communication systems make it difficult to use the same conversation techniques that we take for granted in face-to-face conversations. One essential technique is the ability to control the level of our voice to better express our intentions and feelings. Tele-communication systems isolate the user from his audience and make it impossible for him to assess the level of his voice as reproduced at the other sites. Our research is aimed at enhancing communication quality by giving the user the ability to control the volume of his voice as reproduced at the remote sites. Our proposal creates a ripple peak meter display of the sound field at the partner's site and overlays it on the partner's video signal. This paper describes a prototype system and the experiment conducted to assess it. The experiment confirmed that the proposed method allowed the user to easily grasp and control the level of his voice at the partner's site.

Human has a wide variation implicit in our sense of values with regard to people and things. We often misunderstand in communication due to the difference of the sense of values. Our research goal is to make it easier to communicate with mutual understanding based on visualizing the sense of values. One way of extracting the similarity of sense of values is to employ agreement/disagreement phrases made in turn taking. This paper presents an example of visualization where two selected face avatars change their position and color after a brief series of turn taking according to the strength of the agreement/disagreement phrases that they used.

To develop this system, we believe that information beyond the physical attributes of speech such as utterance characteristics must be collected and processed. Our first step, reported here, is to construct a teleconference corpus that contains labels indicating the participants' feelings. A preliminary analysis of the correlation of labeled topic boundaries and the change in participants' utterances shows the possibility of recognizing a conversation's structure from changes in the amounts of participant utterances.

This paper introduces an untethered force feedback system based on the Air Jet Interface. To create the tools for everyday life, it is necessary to develop untethered human interface technologies that do not constrain the user's activities. However, many devices in existing VR systems tether the user by wires or heavy body devices and so are annoying. We have developed a force feedback technique based on the use of air pressure toward an untethered human interface that is easy to use in everyday life. The basic idea of this force feedback interface is that air released from nozzles impacts the "air receiver" held by the user. The user perceives the air pressure as force and so feels as if he/she is touching the object. The current system employs multiple air jets arranged in a matrix to express the feel of touching three dimensional objects. In addition, a projection-based stereo display and an optical position tracking are employed to fully implement the untethered environment.

In the process of developing "Idobata-net", a multi-point always-on video communication system, we identified several of the problems that hinder this type of communication. We clarify the importance of the pre-communication state in achieving smooth and effective communication and introduce the pre-communication state model that consists of several phases. Based on our preliminary studies and testing, we are continuing to optimize "Idobata-net" to create an effective video communication method.

It is difficult to effectively convey something in mind in text-based communication. Our final goal is to convey it using information about human sense of values. One solution to extract similarity of human sense of values is to employ opening statements in turn taking. This is derived from understanding that human knows the similarity or difference of human sense of values by agreements/disagreements in repeated interactions and that those agreements/disagreements often appear at the beginning of a statement. It is desirable for most people to similarly evaluate the strength of agreement/disagreement for one opening statement in order to determine the similarity of human sense of values. We have collected one hundred opening statements in English and have conducted questionnaires to rate the strength of agreement/disagreement and the popularity for each collected opening statement. This paper presents experimental results of those ratings and dispersion of those ratings.

In this paper, we propose a method of conference state estimation by using biosignal processing. In a human communication, a physiological "entrainment" by vis-a-vis is known. We enhance "entrainment" to bidirectional between multi talkers and call "resonance" relations between participants. To measure the resonance, we recorded conferences with a multimedia conference collection system. By a processing recorded "resonant" biosignal, a correlation matrix is calculated as a relation to the biosignal and the conference state. We can estimate participant's conference participation level through measuring the resonance.

In order to apply virtual reality technologies into tools for everyday life, it is necessary to develop untethered human interface technologies that do not constrain the user's activities. We proposed a force feedback method based on the use of air pressure toward an untethered human interface. The previous implementation used a single nozzle to provide the sensation of hitting a soft object. In this paper, we expanded the method to express the surface of three dimensional virtual objects by air jets from multiple nozzles arranged in a matrix. This paper describes implementation of the proposed method and discusses a series of experiments.

Desktop video communication media are one way of linking users. Movie or TV well express the person's intention by using images shouting by many cameras or effect images. But most desktop video communication systems fail to well express the user's intention because their video images are fixed and only one viewpoint is used. Because such images are not stimulating, they fail to hold the user's attention. We propose a method that enhances the usability of video windows for communication. The proposed method is intended to show the user's intent and mood by the window moved or rotated or hanged their property.

Window systems are now standard in PCs, and we tend to have many windows open at the same time. Given the rather small display area, most windows end up covered by others. To refer to a covered window, the users must stop their current activity and perform the deliberation actions needed to display the desired window. This paper proposes a window operation interface with context continuity. It uses deliberate head movement to control window placement. The window movement interface was designed after measuring the head movements typical during computer operation, and so allows the user to employ intentional movement to control window placement.

Aiming at rich and useful communication in our daily home life, we propose a novel communication concept, "ComAdaptor", in which people can mutually share their intention and emotion by exchanging their spontaneous behavior. ComAdaptor can create shared space communication that allow us to communicate with another party in a remote location as though other party has entered our room. To achieve this, ComAdaptor offsets the differences in the configurations of the rooms. In a simle preliminary system, body motions are successfully adapted and transmitted between two rooms with different layout. The success of the experiment confirms the validity and potential of ComAdaptor.

However, it was difficult for users to precisely create and place objects with this modeler. Based on usage studies, we created an improved modeler that adds three orthographic views to the previous modeler. Examinations showed that 3-D mouse operations do not always directly correspond to cursor movements on the screen due to camera viewpoint change. We propose a modeler with new viewpoint change methods, which make 3-D mouse movements more intuitive.

Authors have aimed at application a human's posture to an interface for a virtual space. This paper describes an interface for moving in a virtual space based on a user's intentional jumping posture. This interface determines the user's intent about the jump from the user's jumping posture and outputs the user's desirable height of the jump in a virtual space. Authors had examined the possibility of the proposed interface by the experimental verification of modeling it, and found that the model of the interface can be created though there are a few problems of the error or the variable to be used.
