Development of Calligraphy Self-training System using Pressure Presentation

Abstract

Pressure presentation technique was applied to a correction of a writing motion. A wearable device that has two stimulation levers and that can be mounted on the student's wrist was developed. By driving each lever individually, it is possible to present information about proper motions to the student. In the experiments, participants carried out several copying motions with the developed device referring to a presented model. Because this device does not move the student's hand forcibly, and this presents a minimum information to the students only if it is necessary, it is expected that the student thinks if the writing motion is proper or not by him/herself. As a result, it was confirmed that the pressure presentation was effective for calligraphy beginners' self-training.
