Experiment of Kansei interaction by rhythm coordination

Our goal is to support the Kansei interaction. We suppose that when people enjoy Kansei interaction, they feel the "sense of unity". From the physical aspect of Kansei, we propose that rhythmical movement is an important factor for the sense of unity. We made two experiments in which two subjects collaborated to synchronize their rhythms to analyze which of the outcome or the process of collaboration was more important for the sense of unity. The result of the experiments showed the subjects felt the sense of unity even if the outcome was not good. We conclude that the process of collaboration in synchronizing rhythms is essential for the sense of unity.
