We introduce and describe the concept of Kansei Game as the implementation of Kansei Mediated Entertainment. In our current approach we translate the classical Zen story of ten Ox herding pictures into a game. We describe the features of such a game and we propose some guidelines for its design and development.

We will address one important design challenge: how to design the feedback of the internal state of the interactive product in a natural way. Although already several solutions are possible, we will introduce a new approach via smart materials. With smart materials the feedback of tangible I/O devices can move from passive to active forms. Based on a general concept of active forms we will demonstrate and discuss the state of the art of using smart materials to explore a new design space for feedback in human computer interaction.

In this application both virtual and robotic agents are employed as an interactive dialogue figure. The main objective of this project is to create an interactive
