Abstract

Human eyes are related to own affects and emotions, and seem to twinkle when human has positive affects and emotions such as a strong interest and eagerness. Human is subconsciously attracted to the twinkling eyes. In this study, aiming at the development of a novel communication interface that attracts human, we focused on the reflected glare on the surface of eyeballs and proposed an expression method that superimposes human shadows on pupils. We conducted an impression experiment to evaluate the proposed method and demonstrated that the method was effective for attracting human. Based on the result, we developed an advanced interface that expresses twinkling eyes for attracting human. The developed interface generates a pseudo reflected glare by superimposing human shadow on each pupil as a pseudo-self-image.
