Abstract

Sustainable interface design has been receiving a great deal of attention in efforts towards a sustainable society. The Tojo-Tei Historic House exhibition at Matsudo International Science and Art Festival 2018 focused on a new type of interface with the aim of raising mythological awareness in the midst of a modern city. A tele echo tube (TET) is a speaking tube interface that interacts acoustically with a deep mountain echo via a slightly vibrating lampshade-like interface. TET allows users to interact with a mountain echo in real time, through an augmented echo-sounding experience with vibration, over a satellite data network. Since 2009, we have continuously improved the architecture of this system to increase the interaction performance and improve the experience. In order to evaluate the interaction performance, an experimental system was constructed to study general rather than laboratory use. In this paper, we discuss the basis requirements for the system for the Tojo-Tei Historic House exhibition at the Matsudo International Science Art Festival 2018.
