Abstract

The authors are used to riding a train in their daily life. If one could ride a train virtually without physical movement of the train, one could travel and see the world much more. Thus, the authors made a virtual train with a container. When you enter the virtual train, you can see various kinds of scenes through train windows and can also hear a sound of train movement. You can see scenes of foreign countries, such as Japan, Korea, France, and so on. In this paper, the authors propose a new experience-based system using a container to resemble to a train. The authors have implemented this system as a media art artwork named “Train Window of Container”. The authors discuss the system implemented in the container that provides us to feel a sense as if they were in a train. The authors use visual and auditory information that provides you a new sense of moving of a train car. The authors exhibited the artwork “Train Window of Container” for five days and had about 13,000 audiences and got feedbacks from them.
