Presence in the shape

Taisuke Nakano +Yasuaki Kakehi


This work shows if a simple triangle shape can give a sense of human presence only by its movement, using "LineShaper," a truss-like frame structure that can change shapes and scales by bending, extending and retracting a single convex tape. The dynamic deformation of LineShaper is realized by detecting the posture of a person in real time and reflecting it in its movements. Various movements drawn from the actual trials are to be considered.
