Find Kirigami!: an Augmented Papercutting Play Activity Realized with Tablet Terminals

Abstract

To enhance an audience's immersive experience of a media artwork, it is important to provide the audience with more than one channel through which they can take the initiative to participate in the artwork. It is also crucial to provide a natural interaction between the artwork and its audience. Based on these ideas, we developed an interactive media artwork called "Find Kirigami!" inspired by kirigami, a traditional Japanese paper-cutting play activity. In this paper, we present the design of "Find Kirigami! and report some of the results of exhibiting the work.
