Abstract
This study proposes direct anthropomorphization method. This method anthropomorphizes an object and user can interact to it with touching. We developed pointing detection sensor that is attached to the object, detects human touch for it, and act as if the object had touch sensor on its surface. Our sensor is attached with the edge of the object and detects 2 dimensional region. It is easily touchable, don't hide elements of the object, and detects only human touch. To detect of the human touch, we uses Viterbi-algorithm. This device detects human touch towards 40cm width region with 80% accuracy. We also examined anthropomorphic information providing test for users using this sensor and other anthropomorphization parts. The result said that direct anthropomorphization method was achieved by our sensor.
