Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Media design for parents of hypoplasia infants were investigated. As the parents desired for their child, an aesthetic silicon made artificial hand for thumb sucking was prototyped, and a parents targeted conscious survey was prepared. To investigate the compensatory effect of donning an artificial hand over the hypoplasia forearm on self-touch, a capacitance & infrared temperature sensory system installed low-reality artificial hand was prototyped. Instrumentation of self-touch to the mouth were pilot tested with ordinary male adult subjects and the recognition rate was durable. Video processing system was developed for hand detection-tracking and the camera setting was experimentally tuned with ordinary male adult subjects to test the robustness improvement of detection precision.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
保護者へのファーストケアから地続きに子どもの発達支援への動機付けがなされるメディア設計を提案できる. 従来の機能と形状の補完の目的とした義肢と異なる,運動と知覚の発達を支援することを目的とした,色,指形状に重点をおいた高リアリティのシリコーン製の1歳児サイズの人工の手指が開発された.早期の人工の手指の装着が欠損側の腕の運動と知覚・認識を誘発するとした科学的エビデンスを得るための,センサを内蔵した実験用人工の手指,手指の検出・追跡処理を行う動画処理システムを提案し,基礎実験を行った.
