We are developing an art-appreciation system that will provide learning information about pictures while generating interest in the pictures themselves. This system can provide learning information on pictures by talking to an artist or people portrayed in the pictures using voice recognition. Furthermore, the system operates through movement and location of the user, and it generates sensation such that the user feels he/she is in the pictures, thus actively appreciating the pictures. As the first step toward this system, we have developed a system that provides learning information to the user by actively talking using ukiyo-e. Here, we quantitatively evaluate this system for primary schoolchildren and determine whether the user is interested in the pictures while talking to the pictures using voice recognition measured by electrodermal activity. In this paper, we summarize the current system and describe two evaluation results.
