KIKIWAKE system for promoting interest in sound source separation technique — Novel application of microphone array and signal processing

In recent years, microphone array signal processing has been actively studied in the field of engineering. In consideration of our hope that children's interest in this technology will contribute to the future development of science and technology, we have developed the KIKIWAKE system with a microphone array and conducted the Prince Shotoku Game to promote children's interest. Then, we confirmed the effectiveness of the system through interviews.
