Outline of Final Research Achievements	We verified multiple methods for using a parametric speaker dynamically, and applied the results to the image projection system "Addressable Screen" which we researched and developed. By doing so, we were able to generate sound at a specific position on the screen. We also exhibited the system at Science Agora 2016 held at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) in November 2016. This made it possible for researchers to utilize the images and sounds that were the goals of the research outcome in a multimodal fashion. In addition, I made oral presentations of the research results at Design Research Association 2016.
