“…As we used the same LED strip, an Adafruit NeoPixel strip with 144 programmable LED pixels per meter, we adapted the light animation pattern definitions from their work. In order to fit the width restriction of our monitor, we used a half meter of the LED strip (72 pixels) (Song and Yamada, 2017b).…”

“…To explore this, in this work, we attached a programmable LED strip to the front-bottom of a monitor (Song and Yamada, 2017b). On the basis of previous work (Yamada et al, 2013), we assumed that such a monitor placement is within a user's peripheral visual field and thus will not distract him or her.…”

Today's computers are becoming ever more versatile. They are used in various applications, such as for education, entertainment, and information services. In other words, computers are often required to not only inform users of information but also communicate with them socially. Previous studies explored the design of ambient light displays and suggested that such systems can convey information to people in the periphery of their attention without distracting them from their primary work. However, they mainly focused on using ambient lights to convey certain information. It is still unclear whether and how the lights can influence people's perception and decision-making. To explore this, we performed three experiments using a ping-pong game, Ultimatum game, and Give-Some game, in which we attached an LED strip to the front-bottom of a computer monitor and had it display a set of light expressions. Our evaluation of the results suggested that expressive lights do affect human perception and decision-making. Participants liked and anthropomorphized the computer more when it displayed light animations. Particularly, they perceived the computer as positive and friendlier when it displayed green and low intensity light animation, while red and high intensity light animation was perceived as negative and more hostile. They consequently behaved with more tolerance and cooperation to the computer when it was positive compared with when it was negative. The findings can open up possibilities for the design of ambient light systems for various applications where human-machine interaction is needed.

“…Based on the assumption that there are positive and negative colors, the study shows that the use of such colors can shift the user's emotional reaction on incoming messages. Song and Yamada [9] conducted a preliminary study that shows a positive effect of LED light animations on users during a computer game in terms of anthropomorphism and the user's perception of the computer. While the use of color and light in affective computing is used to simulate emotions, the use of color and light to illustrate the status of a device is more common on a daily basis.…”

In times of more and more complex interaction techniques, we point out the powerfulness of colored light as a simple and cheap feedback mechanism. Since it is visible over a distance and does not interfere with other modalities, it is especially interesting for mobile robots. In an online survey, we asked 56 participants to choose the most appropriate colors for scenarios that were presented in the form of videos. In these scenarios a mobile robot accomplished tasks, in some with success, in others it failed because the task is not feasible, in others it stopped because it waited for help. We analyze in what way the color preferences differ between these three categories.The results show a connection between colors and meanings and that it depends on the participants' technical affinity, experience with robots and gender how clear the color preference is for a certain category. Finally, we found out that the participants' favorite color is not related to color preferences.
