Abstract
Our purpose in this paper is realizing a natural interaction between humans and artifacts by an ITACO system. The ITACO system is able to construct a relationship between humans and artifacts by a migratable agent. The agent in the ITACO system can migrate to various artifacts within an environment to construct a relationship with humans. We conducted the two experiments to confirm effects for human by a relationship that was constructed between humans and artifacts. The experimental results showed that a relationship gave some influences to human’s behaviors and cognitive abilities. The results also showed that the ITACO system and the migratable agent were an effective method to realize a natural interaction between them.
