Abstract

There are several problems caused by differences in people’s bodies in daily life. For example, tall people feel uncomfortable working at low desks, whereas short people cannot reach high places. However, it is not easy for other people to experience other people’s bodily sensations. To experience the sensations of others, we believe that it is effective to link video of the body of another person to their own behavior, and thereby, experience the physical scales that are experienced by others. Therefore, we have developed the “Ima-mirror,” which converts user movements into a model with the physical attributes of someone else, and presents the mirror image on a screen. The results of evaluation experiments produced the following findings: (1) Users are greatly interested in moving the body of others. (2) Users feel sensations matching their own senses when the system uses their own body model. (3) Users feel sensations that do not match their own senses when the system presents another person’s body model.
