“AlternativeMouth” [2014]

MARUYAMA Eriko + KAKEHI Yasuaki

“AlternativeMouth”

Outline

While showing the display outward, try placing the device in front of your mouth and move your lips as if you were talking. The Alternative- Mouth on the display talks “only” when you move your mouth. In this system, the person’s face takes the role of showing expressions while the computer takes the role of transmitting words. If you already know what you want to say, using this mouth will surely make communicating more accurate and even overcome language barriers. At this current age when humans and bots already coexist in social networks, it may be necessary to reconsider the roles humans take in face-to-face communication.
