"rendezvous" is the work that gives a change of color and sound in two of the viewer. The brain wave measuring unit is mounted on the head of the viewer, to measure changes in the EEG pattern. It determines the emotions from the measured brain wave patterns, if the pleasurable is detected, to continue the color and sounds that are presented at that time.
