Abstract
This paper reports how viewers felt and recognized KANSEI information from body expression by two approaches; those are analyses estimations of impression and eye movements of viewers. In the regression analyses using KANSEI information scores and the physical movement factors as the destination and explanation variables, respectively, significant regression equations were obtained for all. It is concluded that KANSEI information are actually expressed and impressed, i.e., communicated through human body as a media. In the latter analyses, it was revealed that viewers tended to fix their eyes on the space between body parts. Consequently, it is proposed that both bottom-up and top-down processing are related to the recognition of KANSEI information from body expression.
