“娱乐性”——动画艺术本质解读

动画通过夸张、风趣幽默的表现手法打破现实世界的既定框架,契合了人们对精神解放、自由的追求,表达了人们对美好生活的向往。娱乐性是动画作品诞生的原动力,是动画片尤其是商业动画片存在、成功的本质因素。我们应该颠覆"寓教于乐"中"乐"为途径"教"为目的旧观念,卸下中国动画背负了多年的沉重的教化功能这个包袱,轻松上路,让"娱乐"带领中国动画走得更远更好。

Development of an Autonomous Quadruped Robot for Robot Entertainment

In this paper, we present Robot Entertainment as a new field of the entertainment industry using autonomous robots. For feasibility studies of Robot Entertainment, we have developed an autonomous quadruped robot, named MUTANT, as a pet-type robot. It has four legs, each of which has three degree-of-freedom, and a head which also has three degree-of-freedom. Micro camera, stereo microphone, touch sensors, and other sensor systems are coupled with newly developed behavior generation system, which has emotion module as its major components, and generates high complex and interactive behaviors. Agent architecture, real-world recognition technologies, software component technology, and some dedicated devices such as Micro Camera Unit, were developed and tested for this purpose. From the lessons learned from the development of MUTANT, we refined the design concept of MUTANT to derive requirements for a general architecture and a set of interfaces of robot systems for entertainment applications. Through these feasibility studies, we consider entertainment applications a significant target at this moment from both scientific and engineering points of view.

Who avoids location-based advertising and why? Investigating the relationship between user perceptions and advertising avoidance

This study investigates how perceptual factors are associated with mobile consumers’ avoidance of location-based mobile advertising (LBA), and whether the relationships between the perceptual factors and LBA avoidance are influenced by consumers’ mobile device usage levels. The results of a national web survey with 605 Singaporean mobile consumers show that those who find LBA impedes goals, requires sacrifice, and lacks utility are more likely to avoid it. When examining the differences of heavy, medium, and light mobile device users, the analyses reveal that the effects of perceived utility and entertainment on LBA avoidance are greater for medium and heavy users than for light users. Theoretical and practical implications of our findings are discussed, as are the limitations and suggestions for future research.
