The sensing board enhanced by interactive sound system for collaborative work

Published: 02 September 2004 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we describe a new sensing board system enhanced with audio devices. Our previous board system provides users with common display images using tangible pieces, thus, users collaboratively work with visual and tangible information. On the other hand, the proposed system is characterized by the functionality of the direct responses of both sounds and images from the contents. Using the system, we develop three application systems with the following objectives: (1) Users enjoy interaction of sounds and images; (2) Users have high level of engagement; and (3) Users enjoy personal sounds and images. We have carried out experiments to evaluate the benefits and have found that these systems enhance user engagement, participation, and continuous operation.
