Abstract:
“Thermoesthesia” is a new style of interactive artwork with an original thermal sense display. In this paper, we describe the collaborative work approach taken in art and science.
In late years, by collaboration of an artist and an engineer, development of a new digital technology and production of contents came to attract attention. After starting SIGGRAPH, technology and collaboration of art expression can watch new movement in Japanese VR society or French Laval Virtual. The thermal sense display has been developed to allow users feel the temperature of the visually displayed objects, which is cool or warm, by directly touching the objects. This project began with suggestion of an artist. Mrs. Kushiyama showed art work “Transparent Blue” which we used touch panel in SIGGRAPH2005. It was a work to touch for an image of fresh and cool CG, but felt vanity of CG and a difference of the touch when we touched it. Challenges from there to a work accompanied with a cold sense to be hot began. This project consists by an artist, the electrical engineers and the CG programmers.General constitution is announced in form of a work by an artist.
