空気噴流を用いた音楽体験の臨場感提示における触覚提示部位の違いによる影響

抄録

Several devices had been proposed to improve the musical experience. Most of them use transducers, but the problem with transducers is that the size of the device can be too large when a larger vibration is desired. Therefore, we had been studying research using air-jets. We are feeled powerful since low-frequency sounds resonating through the body at concerts and live music performances. We decided to use air-jets to stimulate the body with the sound of a bass while listen to the music. It had been found that air-jets stimulating the area around the center of the sternum enhance the sense of realism. In this study, we investigated through experiments more suitable locations of the body for the stimulation.
