We predicted that the walking experience within 15 minutes from Endo can be changed by limiting or replacing some of the human five senses. Therefore, we conducted fieldwork on âwalking experience without looking at the watch,â âwalking experience without relying on vision,â and âwalking experience using sounds from other places,â and summarized the experiences. The idea of changing the sound during walking has been conceived and proposed to create a new 15-minute walking experience.
Finally, we proposed an application called âSound Drop.â This time, in order to test the application environment. We created a simulated space on the spatial chat. Using the collected sound so that more people can experience the different walking that changes the environmental sound. Though these attempts to change the perceptual and sensory environment. We be able to reconfirm the attractiveness of Endo within 15-minute walk which is difficult to feel now. And these attempts may lead to rediscover the charm of oneâs familiar environment during the corona epidemic.
Our school, Keio University Shonan Fujisawa Campus (SFC), is located in Endo, Fujisawa City â a suburban area about 50km from the center of Tokyo. With students still told to stay away and attend lectures online due to Covid-19, it has become just a huge empty space.
The area around SFC is used for primary industry, and this led us to the idea of an âedible campusâ â an exploration of the edible plants that can be found within 15 minutes of our school. We discovered that SFC is home to many powerfully health-giving herbs.
From there we created an SFC Herb Map, a Herb Dictionary, and a movie about our Edible Campus.All that is needed to change our point of view is to look at things from a different angle. As we see it now, the herbs that grow by the side of the road can be tools of communication.
With the development of information and communication technology, mankind has become adept at using lightning speed communication online. As a result, in virtual space, humans seemed to have transcended the concept of time difference. However, with the start of online classes in educational institutions in the recent COVID-19 pandemic, one problem has emerged. For example, there was a discrepancy between living in Japan on JST time and attending classes overseas on CEST time.
Problems that did not occur to us when we thought of taking classes in isolation: the difference in meal times with family, line of sight of people surrounding, and limitations in the use of various services due to differences in sleeping hours.
In order to eliminate the discrepancies that cause these problems, we set a hypothetical goal of allowing individuals and laboratories at Keio SFC to choose their own living time axis. In order to achieve this goal, we examined the changes that would occur in the university's class system and facility management. As an example, when an SFC laboratory collaborates with a foreign university, the life of one student in the laboratory changes, and the extent of the ripple effect is examined through a tree diagram and an experiment in which the student lives in GMT time while in Japan.
It's been nearly 2 years since the coronavirus infection became a global problem. Japan is still in battle with Coronavirus, while we trying avoid contact with others in daily life, anxiously wondering when we can get our normal lives back. e prolonged refrain from going out has ironically made me keenly realized the value of the act "moving" that we usually do without thinking.
As a precautionary measure to prevent the spread of the infection, the university which author belongs to has restricted access to the campus and shifted to online classes. Students begin taking classes at home. For this reason, new students who have joined the school this semester couldn't set foot on campus till now but only view the campus via Internet map.
There is no exception for our team when this project was launched. In this situation, we explored tools to help people who cannot go to a specific place to experience the place more realistically through experiments, and analyzed the sharing of local information through digital media and the experiences gained through the use of a "guide" style.
The Endo district, where the SFC campus is located, includes not only the university grounds but also old villages and residential areas. However, since most of SFC students take a direct bus from Shonandai or Tsujido stations to University, they rarely visit the Endo area and they do not visit outside of the university. Therefore, a map was attempted to understand Endo and to navigate this area. The map was made for others to walk around with this and students did fieldwork, which we were divided into two groups. One for navigating via calling and the other for receiving. We tried to understand Endo not only by what things exist but also how people lives by using streets and lands.
In addition, this fieldwork was carried out by field surveys and online surveys using resources on the Internet such as Google Street View and Google Earth. While telework is recommended, we discussed the meaning and advantages of conducting field surveys without going to the site based.
Although it doesnât allow for complicated movements, wandering around the venue while controlling the avatar was more connected to my body than expected. The closer you are to someone on the screen, the clearer the video becomes, and the more clearly you can hear their voice. If you move away, the video becomes translucent, and the voice becomes distant. If I stayed at a subtle distance, I could vaguely hear the conversations of those nearby.
