Motion Design Using Mimetic Words

We are developing a methodology aimed at the design of new forms of motion that are more attractive to the human mind by blending motions obtained by mimicking the movement of natural objects. In this methodology, we focus on mimetic (reality-symbolic) words. Mimetic words express appearance and movements and can be understood as potential representations of those motions that are difficult to describe verbally. In this study, our objective is to create extremely creative and emotional motions from newly expressed mimetic words; just as new music is created from unique scores. First, we develop a method to decompose a newly expressed mimetic word into known mimetic words and actualise this method in the form of a tool. We then propose a procedure for creating a new motion from a newly expressed mimetic word.
