水を利用した自然なハプティック表現「およぐことば」(<特集>アート&エンタテインメント2)

抄録

"Floating Words" is a new device for playing with words generated by CG technology in a small water pool. When a player says words to the megaphone-type microphone, the words drip into the water pool as letters. Then the player can scoop or stir them with a ladle. "Floating Words" is a beautiful and poetic interactive installation art work but also a tactile system with real water. In this system, players feel something comfortable and new although it has no artificial force feedback device.
