Extail: Wearable Hair Device that Enables Body Motion Exaggerations
Article No.: 78, Pages 1 - 6
Abstract
Despite advancements in actually reproducing movie representations, it remains difficult to reproduce them on the human body due to physical limitations. Therefore, we focus on “motion exaggeration” in animation and reproduce it with hair physically. We have developed “Extail,” a wearable hair extension-type device that exaggerates the motion of hair bundle. This device blends in with the wearer’s appearance and does not affect the impression of motion. To evaluate the exaggerated motion we implemented, we conducted a controlled experiment in which we subjected the device-mounted base to the same motion with and without exaggeration. We asked 40 people to compare their impressions of the hair bundle motion, and more than 70% of them judged that the motion with exaggeration appeared larger. This research realizes body motion augmentation in a way that the mechanism is unobtrusive and provides a new perspective on the fusion of movie representations and the body.
