A Collaborative Ensemble System with Picture Story for Aesthetic Sensibility Learning

This paper presents a collaborative ensemble system with pictures stories and nature sounds by students' emotions and intentions, represented by body motions. The cultivating aesthetic sensibility for children is especially important for enriching their open-minded and creative personality. Moreover, it can support music and video-applications based on the eurhythmics approach. Current advanced computer-aided education systems can support emotional education efficiency and brings new experiences to both teachers and students. However, the conventional computer-aided education system cannot sufficiently interpret students' emotions, feelings, and intentions for amplifying and conveying an atmosphere shared by students during the class of aesthetic sensibility learning. The feature of our system is that our system can amplify and convey the atmosphere created by the student's physical motions by dynamically changing pictures and sounds through a collaborative ensemble with picture stories and nature sounds. By several experiments testing our prototype, we evaluate the feasibility of the proposed system.
