Abstract
The goal of this study is to develop a mobile device which can support hand contact improvisation and generation of sympathetic embodied awareness between remote locations. As a first step, we designed a mechanism of the device which enable performer to create bodily expression with motion of whole body, and developed control system which convey hand motion mutually, and considered the design of the interface form between the hand and the device. Specifically, we focused on the rotation of hand, and developed the hemispheric device. Then, we conducted a few experiments on the interface form. The results suggested that performers could create bodily expression with motion of whole body on our device, and that the ease of creation such a bodily expression depends on the interface form.
