Associate Professor Takanori Kobayashi of Saitama University Graduate School of Science and Engineering has developed a support system that excites the feelings of fans by transmitting the movements of idols singing and dancing at concerts to the penlights of fans in real time as vibrations and lights. .. At the 2018 consecutive symposium of the Humanities and Social Sciences Research and Science held on October 10, 28, we demonstrated and experimented with the idol support system with the cooperation of four members of Saitama University Dance Circle "SKR2017".
This research aims to elucidate and enhance the art space co-created by the performer and the audience through literary fusion research. Establishing an interactive audience theory by clarifying the methods of appreciation and joint participation, and clarifying what kind of interactive device enhances the sense of unity with the stage and the sense of unity between the audience. Trying to.
The cheering system developed this time wirelessly sends the strength of the singing voice measured by the microphone of the idol and the motion data measured by the accelerometer attached to the wrist to the computer, and the signal processed by them is used as the penlight of the fan. A mechanism to feed, vibrate, and change the color and brightness of the penlight.It is expected that the sense of unity between idols and fans can be further enhanced by using a system that conveys the physical movements of the performer to the audience in addition to the light and sound that have been used so far.
