Abstract

You don't usually care about your own heartbeats, unless you are in a specific situation such as when getting nervous or injured. In the workshop your heartbeats are externalized with a concise system, which is composed of a vibration speaker and stethoscope. Heartbeat sounds taken by the stethoscope are sent to the vibration speaker via information processing circuit, and the system enables you to hear and touch states of your own heartbeats, and to exchange them with others. This workshop is aimed to provide a gut feeling of living self. The current paper describes the concept of workshop, and reports the participants' comments.
