物体配置を介した気づきの促進

抄録

While most of us don't pay much attention to the placement of objects in our daily life, focusing on the meaning of the placement of the objects may help us to acquire new concepts and viewpoints. Our goal is to develop a system promoting a person's awareness through the placement of objects. In this article, we present the results of two preliminary experiments conducted before developing the system. First experiment shows that considering the relationship between objects and humans is important for understanding the intensions of the person who placed the objects. Second experiment reveals that focusing on the difference between the placement by oneself and that by others, and then trying to build a consensus between them are likely to promote the awareness.
