Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we defined sensibility information and vibration information in response to ground characteristics while walking as ground interaction information. We measured ground interaction information in Hiroshima University Higashi-Hiroshima campus and Kyoto city center, and predicted sensibility information using vibration information. In addition, we visualized the feelings felt by subjects while walking through city environments by reflecting it on a map.
