DurationOctober - December 2018
ToolUnity, SteamVR, ArduinoBriefIt aims to arise emotional awareness and strengthen the interpersonal relationship. With this tool, the user can create a three-dimensional painting while the control of the brush is decoupled from their own expression to another person's feeling. We monitor muscle, heart rate, brainwave, and body temperature to create an emotion map. These parameters are mapped to brush strokes. It's a pair only painting tool which allows the user to paint with others emotion. This paper also describes the composition of the brush by analyzing the relationship between each element of brush and inner emotion with the database.

	
What if the emotion can be drew and shared with your intimate?


Emotio&#38;nbsp;is how people presents in
this world; it is how people feel and react to their experiences and condition.
Understanding emotion is a way to identify and learn about oneself and others [1]. Human emotion has inseparable connection with human
body which includes bio-signal, gesture, body temperature and other related
aspects. Although emotion could be expressed verbally and physically, physiological signals which controlled by the autonomic
nervous system are spontaneous and won’t be intervened [2].

	Set up


It is driven by HTC vive,
powered by SteamVR and Windows 10 laptop computer with lowest GPU configuration
- GTX 970. Figure (on the right side) displays four
sensors users need to wear while they are painting. Figure 2 demonstrates the
painting environment designed for user.

	Design and 


implementation


It is important
to consider the composition of the brush itself that includes color, size,
texture, value etc. We currently chose four variables that are automatically
changed with the alteration of the data collected from the user.


We decided to monitor muscle, heart rate, brainwave
and body temperature to create an emotion map because these four parameters are
relatively easier to detect, and all of them are supported by a huge amount of
research. Research results that reliable measurement of muscle tension of
individual differences in incidental facial responses and to emotional
expressions is feasible [1] ... Hue remaps with
Skin Temperature because people always connect color, temperature and emotion.
The size of the brush alters with the heartbeat. Figure 6 is the chart which
shows the progress of generating different brushes.

	Final Prototype

	
    The target users are the people who have an
intimate relationship and enjoy painting since their intense bond and abundant
shared experience will create a stronger emotional connection. We did
preliminary qualitative testing with one friend pairs. They shared memory, either pain or happiness. The user claims
that sometimes they try to hide their emotion when they speak, but the brush
changes the color pretty obvious. Also, when the brush changes the style, they
talk more and try to understand each other more.

Mountain Water LovePROJECT OVERVIEWBrief:
Mountain Water Love is a short film that aims to convert a Chinese traditional water-ink painting style animation into a virtual reality experience. You can experience Mountain Water Love in 360 video on YouTube (by clicking the video above) or play it in Oculus Rift which was this project originally developed for. You can download the playable binary for Oculus here.Duration: 8 weeksTool: Unity, TiltBrush, Oculus Rift


Team:Rui An (developer)Ke Lu (developer)Mingze Xiao (developer)Xiaoteng Yang (developer)Qiuji Zhao (Designer)

My Role:As the designer of the team, my job is to draw the characters with tilt brush, design all the scenes with unity &#38;amp; MeshLab and design the website for the whole project. The whole working pipeline involves Python, Blender, MeshLab and Unity. We wrote a step by step tutorial of using our convertor to generate 3D water-ink style models in here under section "About".


DEMO


MOTIVATION
	Instead of creating another VR game, we wanted to create something more artistic and story telling related. There, we came up with the idea of integrating traditional Chinese cultural elements into VR technology and then came the birth of this work: Virtual realitization of a traditional Chinese water-ink animation -- 山水情. The basic idea of this project is to convert a Chinese traditional water-ink painting style animation into a virtual reality experience. The problem is obvious, all the techniques we know about water-ink painting can only be utilized in a 2d setting, how can we apply them in a 3d space? 
	
	After some diggings, we found several papers in non-photorealistic rendering that we think maybe helpful for our project. And later, we narrowed it down to one paper published by Korea University and decided to use the mathematic model described in that paper to implement our convertor. Here is the link to the paper. The aim of the convertor is to render 3d models into a water-ink(Su-Muk) painting style with users’ guide. We implemented our convertor with python. The idea is to simulate the behavior of water-ink directly on 3d models so that after our simulation, ink and water will be spread over the surface appropriately.
