Atmosphere Sharing System by Lighting and Fragrance to Enhance Quality of Work in Telework

Currently, telework becomes popular due to the spread of the novel coronavirus but it is concerned to reduce efficiency of cooperative work because telework is difficult to get intimate among cooperative workers by decreasing in chattering. Therefore, we need to increase the efficiency of cooperative work to get intimate among cooperative workers by increasing chattering. Atmosphere sharing system by using full color lighting and flavor is proposed to increase efficiency of cooperative work at telework and improving QOL in daily life. The proposed system estimates atmosphere using facial expression of cooperative workers and expresses the atmosphere at LED lighting and flavor. To verify effects of work efficiency of telework, familiarity and activity level of communication, the proposed system is compared to existing methods of telework by using cooperative work game called “Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes”. In the experiment, the three proposed methods are compared to the two existing methods of telework. The proposed system realizes place-independent work style.
