Abstract

This system is for beginners,new to viewing artworks, and aims at deepeing the viewer's understanding of artwork by allowing them to record their experience while viewing in front of the artwork and to share their date with other viewers. The important thing for the design of this system is the following two, points : The interface design should make it easy to write comments and to read comments quickly while in front of a piece of art. In this research, we propose a design for a system allowing the sharing of comments about artworks using mobile phones, for general public use. Further we will discuss feedback from a test of our prototype in the Toyota art museum. The screen of a mobile phone is small. Therefore, the following designs were created in order to decide on an intelligible screen display that is easy to use, and intuitive. We divided the area into three sections, the category area is composed of the upper part, the central area displays the contents, and the area of operational explanation composes the lower part. We utilized a display that shows a work, or the thumbnail of a work in order to enable intuitive understanding by a viewer. Because of the small screen, and keeping with our goal of intuitive understanding, we made the background color of a page correspond to the base color of the artwork.
