Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we focused on the feature of rhythm controller whose input lacks one-to-one correspondence with avatar motion, and developed Maai creating agent that predicts intention of a human as to whether he/she intends to maintain or collapse Maai from his/her pattern of creating avatar motion (relationship between controller input and avatar motion). We realized Kendo matches between Maai creating agent and a human through mutual avatar. From the result, we observed that the winning percentage of the agent reached 80 [%]. This result indicates that the intention of a human as to whether he/she intends to maintain or collapse Maai is reflected in his/her pattern of creating avatar motion. And, this finding provides important clues to realize the estimation of human's internal state using the rhythm controller (soft interface).
