Abstract
This paper describes an approach to interpolate the wind direction and velocity using two fans. Firstly, maps of the angle and velocity of the wind in relation to the speeds of the two fans are created. It was found that changes in the speeds of the two fans in the interpolation were not necessarily linear to the directional angles from the fans. Next, in the generation of wind, the speeds of the fans are inversely referenced from the maps using the target direction and velocity. An experiment confirmed that wind can be generated from an intermediate direction between the two fans. Through an evaluation using subjects, it was proven that a change in the direction of the wind could be recognized to some extent, although great differences in accuracy were observed among individuals.
