 SHOJI: Symbiotic Hosting Online Jog Instrument ::: Pink Tentacle
On November 6, GS Yuasa and the University of Tokyo unveiled a system that ascertains the “mood” of a room by monitoring a variety of factors — including the feelings and behavior of the people in the room — and relays the mood data to remote terminals where it is expressed as colored LED light.
The system, called SHOJI (Symbiotic Hosting Online Jog Instrument), is similar in concept to KOTOHANA (developed by NEC and SGI), which are pairs of flower-shaped terminals that share data and change color according to emotion detected in voice patterns.
SHOJI’s display consists of 10 rows of LEDs that emit colors corresponding to different emotions — red for anger, blue for sadness, yellow for happiness, and green for peace.
