Abstract

To provide a theater Kamishibai (picture story show) capable of showing the live feeling of a Kamishibai to an audience of several hundred people, increasing box office income, and enabling the Kamishibai (picture story show) technique to be passed down to the next generation. [Solution] By incorporating trigger marks (QR codes (registered trademark) or NFC chips) that indicate the individual orders of the pictures in the kamishibai story and equipping them with detection sensors, the kamishibai story images can be projected onto a large screen (LED or digital projector), and the kamishibai performer can watch the audience's reactions and time the removal of pictures (material) or overlaying other cut-out pictures, creating a live feeling that can be shown to an audience of several hundred people.

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This device incorporates trigger marks (barcodes or NFC chips) that indicate the individual orders of the pictures in the kamishibai story, and is equipped with a detection sensor.This allows the kamishibai story images to be projected onto a large screen (LED or digital projector), and the kamishibai performer can watch the audience's reactions and time the removal of pictures (material) or overlaying other cut-out pictures, creating a live performance that can be shown to an audience of several hundred people. [Background technology]

[0002] In conventional Kamishibai, the audience must be within a 5-meter radius to see the pictures or hear the voices, so the limit is a few dozen people. Also, if you try to project the Kamishibai and the Kamishibai performer onto a large screen, the camera gets in the way of the audience. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents] Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] When thinking about how to increase the box office revenue of Kamishibai and show the skills of Kamishibai performers to a large audience without getting bored, the answer is to show it on a large screen.

[0004] By embedding trigger marks (QR codes or NFC chips) that indicate the order of each picture in the picture story and equipping it with a detection sensor, the picture story can be projected onto a large screen, and the picture storyteller can watch the audience's reaction and time the removal of a picture (material) or overlaying another cut-out picture, creating a live performance that can be shown to an audience of several hundred people.

[0005] By showing kamishibai to a large audience at once, box office revenue can be increased and the skills of the kamishibai performer (storytelling skills, speed, etc.) can be passed on to the younger generation. [Brief description of the drawings]

Claims

[Claim 1] With traditional kamishibai, the audience could only see the pictures and hear the voices if they were within a five-meter radius, so they could only entertain a few dozen people, and so they could not earn much in box office revenue or pass on the kamishibai technique to the next generation. However, by incorporating trigger marks (QR codes or NFC chips) that indicate each individual picture in the kamishibai and equipping it with a detection sensor, the kamishibai performer can watch the audience's reaction and time the removal of a picture (material), or layer different cut-out pictures on top of each other to create a live feel. The kamishibai can then be projected onto a large screen (projected using an LED monitor or digital projector) in conjunction with the kamishibai itself, allowing it to be shown to an audience of several hundred people. As box office revenue increases, this type of kamishibai can also be passed on to the next generation.This type of kamishibai is called "theater kamishibai."
