Providing Systems to Augment our Entertainment Experiences without loss of the Delights

摘要

Daily entertainment experience is essential to our life. The individual entertainment experience is enhanced by various interactive systems. For example, entertainment robots with high interactivity or navigation systems with voice guidance enhance each stuffed toy play and stroll experience. However, there are some cases that these systems detract from the experience’s delights. These delights mean essential factors for individual experience such as fun, healing, atmosphere and so on. And, those become an important motive for getting the experience. This thesis shows the usefulness of the system that enhances the experience without detracting from the experience’s delights, and the guideline of the designing and developing of such systems. In addition, I propose two interactive systems that based on the guideline. One is a stuffed toy robot and the other is the directional information provision by controlling the environmental sound field.
