音楽から生成した振動触覚刺激が感情の経時変化に及ぼす影響の調査

抄録

In this paper, we focus on vibrotactile stimuli for the purpose of changing and amplifying emotions, and evaluate the changes in emotions caused by vibrotactile stimuli converted from music. To construct a system that simultaneously presents music and vibration, we developed a chair-type vibrotactile display and an automatic conversion method of vibrotactile stimuli based on music. The method generates stimuli suitable for tactile perception by shifting the pitch and dividing the music. In an evaluation experiment, we evaluated the changes in the emotions elicited by the music when vibrotactile stimuli were applied using temporal and posterior evaluation methods. The results showed that not only were the emotions strongly caused by the music, but they were also amplified and changed by the presentation of the vibrotactile stimuli.
