Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the co-working space, we installed a human flow sensor and an environmental sensor and conducted experiments, but even if we made the data visible, its utilization did not proceed. We found that understanding (showing interpretation of data) is important without stopping visualization (data visualization). Specifically, we photographed the situations of people, constructed a mechanism to estimate psychological conditions and age by interpreting facial expressions as well as reflecting the images on a monitor. Also, the temperature and humidity information is shown in the plan view as "skin information (degree of influence on the skin)". We confirmed that "understanding" of such data activates the interaction between sensing data and activities. Various knowledge to activate the intellectual creative activities of the office environment could be obtained by effective use of sensing information.
