Abstract

In consequence of the progress of globalization in information technology, all information have been uniformized without any attention to the place the contents were made. For example, we search for videos and watch them in the same way on PC, even if some of them were made in our home cities, while others were made abroad. Therefore, users can not feel the background of the contents, and they can not realize essence of contents. In this research, we developed CQ Submarine which is the system for searching videos based on feelings of distance and direction. In this system, users set the distance and direction from themselves, then they can watch the videos which were made in the area where users set. This searching process allow users to have imagination, aspiration, amazement, and discovery about that area. We also made a demo of CQ Submarine at an exhibition on travel applications that was held in Tokyo in 2011, and got a lot of feed backs from initial users.
