Using Customer Emotional Experience from E-Commerce for Generating Natural Language Evaluation and Advice Reports on Game Products

Investigating customer emotional experience using natural language processing (NLP) is an example of a way to obtain product insight. However, it relies on interpreting and representing the results understandably. Currently, the results of NLP are presented in numerical or graphical form, and human experts still need to provide an explanation in natural language. It is desirable to develop a computational system that can automatically transform NLP results into a descriptive report in natural language. The goal of this study was to develop a computational linguistic description method to generate evaluation and advice reports on game products. This study used NLP to extract emotional experiences (emotions and sentiments) from e-commerce customer reviews in the form of numerical information. This paper also presents a linguistic description method to generate evaluation and advice reports, adopting the Granular Linguistic Model of a Phenomenon (GLMP) method for analyzing the results of the NLP method. The test result showed that the proposed method could successfully generate evaluation and advice reports assessing the quality of 5 game products based on the emotional experience of customers

ADADA 2016 14TH international Conference for Asia Digital Art and Design Association - Perception of impossible figures focusing on inconsistent rectangles

Impossible figures are known to be motifs of the Dutch artist M. C. Escher's lithographs. However, impossible figures cannot be strictly defined geometrically because they are mental images of solid objects. In other words, viewers perceive two-dimensional (2D) drawings as three-dimensional (3D) structures, although these structures cannot be realized in 3D space. Regardless of the mental images, viewers’ differing perceptions of impossible figures have not been sufficiently researched; thus, we performed two experiments to address this gap. In the first experiment, the participants observed each sample figure individually in random order and then stated whether, according to them, it was an impossible or possible figure. Approximately half the participants labeled some sample figures as possible figures in spite of them being impossible geometrically. The results indicated that perceptions of impossible figures differ according to the individual and the figures themselves. We also obtained widely differing results between four inconsistent rectangles that had the external contours of possible rectangles. To address this variability, we focused on the inconsistent rectangles in the second experiment. The four rectangles were sub-classified into 28 categories, and the participants were asked whether each of the 28 figures was impossible or possible, similar to the procedure followed in the first experiment. The sub-classified rectangles were broken down into polygons to analyze the results. Finally, we extracted an element that led to participants' perception of possible figures and two elements that led to their perception of impossible figures

A Study of Digital Media Art Utilizing 2D Animation

This study is about the combination of PM technology and traditional animation. PM technology is Projection Mapping technology. Is from a combination of two words, Projection and Mapping. By using PM technology, to create a more excellent experience of vision or other senses than the traditional animation. This work is about produced by using PM technology, projecting the animation film on different objects (such as glass, buildings, trees, etc.) by using PM technology, to represent the changes of seasons. Although the same content, when projected on different objects, the visual effects are also different. Though the different visual effects, the viewer can get different visual experiences. To complete the study, I made some tests under various conditions: the first step, I projected the animation film on a small cube. The second step, I made tests on different regions of Kyushu University campus. By analyzing of the results of the tests, to make the future works more systematic

Sidestep and sneak peek: spatial actions in augmented reality games

We propose a novel concept of game, which allows players to experience tangible interaction with the virtual world of digital games by mixing motorized scenery (object support) with dynamically generated spatial augmented reality. A specific hardware, which includes a turntable platform, on where players can setup customized polygonal shaped scenery to play the game projected onto its surfaces, and a single, or a pair, of focus free laser pico-projectors pointed toward the platform is proposed as a game console able to run this experiment. The turntable platform orientation is synchronized with the game play in a way the physical object rotates aligned with the projected virtual reality in relation to the player’s fixed perspective. By designing 3-dimensional animations, which are rendered and projected in accordance with the surface orientations, we were able to enhance the illusion of depth toward these planar structures during the game play. The use of spatial augmented reality is justified by exploiting the characteristics of projected 2-dimensional light onto 3- dimensional objects in order to extend the game possibilities. As an example, the number and orientation of polygons found on the support can be directly associated with the complexity of the game universe, affecting the game difficulty, scale and game play. In this paper we discuss about spatial actions, which are actions players can perform at object support creases. When synchronized with motor movements, these actions extend the sense of volume in relation to the game avatars providing a tangible connection between players and digital content

Kokyu: a non-contact sensing system with a scalable sphere for visualization breathing

“禅”(Zen) is known as Japanese traditional meditation. It has recently drawn the attention of people working at Silicon Valley’s companies like Google. We have designed a novel interface to breath visualization, based on the Zen concept, by creating a scalable sphere, which change its size according to one’s breathing. This artwork: “孤球”(KOKYU: A Solitary Sphere) is composed of such a traditional meditative structure, the most advanced technology at the present day. It helps people to experience Zen meditation through a deeper spiritual feeling by looking at oneself. In other words, it allows people to feel as if they are having a conversation with themselves. Thus, getting closer to the purpose of Zen: searching for the truth of who we are. Demonstration video at YouTube: (https://youtu.be/srTeGo3buME

Breathing shelter—Relieve citizen pressure with the breath control

In this paper, we propose an interactive breathing shelter which could regulate the breath of city and its dwellers by influencing their breath speed to relieve their stress. An interactive urban shelter expresses the relationship between city and its dwellers through the action of breathing. In Schrödinger's book What is Life?, he originally stated that 'what an organism feeds upon is negative entropy' and that 'the essence of metabolism, in its survival period successfully ridding themselves of organisms, must have all the entropy.’ Cities increase in entropy due to pollution, traffic jams and information overload and so on. Meanwhile, these issues prompt stress in citizens. Breathing is the simplest way to counter the increase of entropy – people are noticeably relaxed and find it easier to concentrate after deep breathing. This city shelter thus aims to transform anxiety to relief – you breathe the city and the city also breathes back at you, in a mutual beneficial connectio

Opinion Mining for User Generated Design By Social Networking Service and Japanese Manga

The growth of Social Networking Service (SNS) has created a new potential in marketing. While users communicate and interact via SNS, the list of their conversation, which is called casual data can be used to determine their needs or aspirations. SNS can be very useful for product/service developers, especially when developing new ideas or simply evaluating the feasibility of their existing products/services. Furthermore, SNS provides a unique system that enables expressive and two-way communication between its users. SNS is known for its effectiveness in delivering fresh news and information, thus it can be used as promotional media. Although several online services that utilize SNS and casual data have been provided, the purpose of those services is still unclear and ineffective. In those services, users were only asked for their opinions without receiving sufficient feedbacks. Therefore, to solve these problems we propose an innovative way of utilizing SNS and casual data in designing user generated design. In our proposed system, users can directly contribute to the product/service development process in an interesting way. We designed an online service, which allows users to posts manga that describes their original idea. While contributing to the product/service development, they can also benefit from expressing their hobbies and receiving feedbacks from other users

Interactive neural network – Differential evolution framework for haptic feedback retrieval system

We propose a haptic database retrieval system based on user’s perception and media converter that translates it into a physical haptic feedback. We have developed a three-dimensional psychological space that expresses human perception haptic stimuli by using semantic differential pairs. Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm searches and retrieves haptic stimuli within a haptic physical feature space. Moreover, Neural Networks (NN) maps the searched physical feature vectors into the psychological space. The distance between the mapped positions and target position in the psychological space is used for the GA search, and when the distance becomes less than the threshold value, the retrieval search ends. In this study, we have conducted a preliminary experiment to construct psychological space and the NN part of the proposed system. The result of the preliminary experiment and the configuration of the NN will be discussed in detail
