Development of a context-enhancing surface based on the entrainment of embodied rhythms and actions sharing via interaction

Surfaces with social functions are a recent trend. As the next step in the evolution of these surfaces, we propose a context-enhancing surface, which allows people to entrain and share their embodied rhythms to support their daily lively life. Thus, we developed a prototype system using sensors and screens. We propose a goal-oriented interaction and an entrainment-oriented interaction to support cheering in sports and liveliness in presentation.
