Our research focuses on ambient sounds as a key to implementing an ambient atmosphere of people, that is, the feeling of another's proximity or presence. Such knowledge is sought for constructing an ultra-realistic communication system with shared reality. This study examines whether people's impressions and behaviors are affected by (a) the existence or (b) nonexistence of ambient sounds. A pilot study is conducted by using the ambient sounds of a newspaper's pages being turned and a glass being placed on a table in an adjacent room. No difference in the subjects' surface behavior between the two ambient-sound conditions is observed explicitly. However, the preliminary results suggest that participants feel an ambient atmosphere of people in the next room when the ambient sounds are output. They also suggest that the participants become nervous as they feel the presence of other people. This study demonstrates the importance of investigating the fundamentals of an ambient atmosphere in interaction via an ultra-realistic communication system.
