In this study, we propose anthropomorphization framework, which directly anthropomorphize an object by using human-like body parts. Nowadays, home appliances have many functions and tend to be connected together by a home network. This situation makes users feel uneasy as they need to understand more complex informations. Instead of improving the design or the interface of objects, we prefer to provide information via anthropomorphic and communicative agents, which seems to be more useful and user-friendly. Our framework transforms an object into an agent called displaying robot by using anthropomorphization, which makes the interaction between human and the object more intuitive. To verify our framework, we conducted an experiment to verify the effectiveness of anthropomorphization by attaching such eye-like and arm-like devices to a home appliance and implemented information providing system using our framework.
