概要 People who sit while working may unconsciously take a bad posture, such as a stoop. It causes a high physical load or may result in poor work efficiency. Since a bad posture occurs when people are in a state of concentration, they may not notice it by themselves. In order to solve this problem, we propose a system to make the posture state noticeable without disturbing the work significantly. This system indicates a bad posture via sounds in real-time, including the ambient music, by applying interactive sonification. This paper describes our prototype system for interactive sonification of postures while sitting, along with the sound designs. We also discuss a preliminary evaluation of our sound designs, with regard to their usefulness in helping users notice and correct bad postures.
