Abstract
It is known that human affects and emotions are reflected in own eyes. Especially, the eyes with strong affects and emotions look like twinkling. Humans are fascinated and attracted by such twinkling eyes. Therefore, it is expected to examine the elements that fascinate humans and develop social robots for attracting humans by reproducing twinkling eyes using engineering approach. We focused on the reflection of the surface in the eyeball and developed a twinkling eyes interface by superimposing self-shadow on dilated pupils. This interface can express the pupil response and the shade of self-shadow depending on the distance. In this study, an evaluation experiment that combines self-shadow with dilated pupil was conducted. The effectiveness of the developed interface was demonstrated by sensory evaluations.
