Abstract

We can share nonverbal emotional experiences, such as excitement and pleasure, by watching movies and sports events with others, like our friends and family. These shared experiences are thought to enhance excitement and pleasure as compared to when these activities are done alone. Our research provides this shared experience on the Internet by sharing a viewer's excitement while watching videos that are on the web. In this paper, we present a user study about the relationship between users' excitement while watching videos on the web and their impressions of those videos. Along with this study we also introduce a video player called ExciTube that allows users to share their excitement and vie other users' excitement as visual information alongside the video they are watching. A user's excitement is expressed and shared using an avatar. We carried out user-involved demonstrations of ExciTube at a Japanese symposium and confirmed that people did enjoy using the system and feeling other people's excitement.
