In-Depth Information
On these bases, we can consult on various racial types of Japanese culture and the
rear communication.
4.2 Computers Do Not have a Cultural Information Hierarchy
Scientific technologies have developed Web2.0 like Google, Youtube, Wikipedia and
SNS by which we can send our information more easily. Robot technologies are also
developing new basic techniques to realize the superior functions that living things
have. More specifically, they are global communication technologies including the
movement functionality, manipulation system, distributed autonomous system for
upgrading the intelligence.
There is, however, no cultural information hierarchy that is needed to live with
humans. Adding the local cultural information by cultural computing to here may
contribute to create higher-level communication systems.
5 Conclusion
These methods of 'cultural computing' enables us to model and structure the deep-
inside essentials of culture like sensitivity, intuition, racial characteristics and
narratives that we have not able to quantification. I have set my goal to realize the
communication that moves one's racial characteristic expanding the present
computer's communication ability to have an ability to reflect the difference in
feelings, consciousness and memories, based on the culture. If these systems are
realized, social practical and cultural information expression systems through the
languages, voices and movies will be realized in various fields.
