Abstract:
1. A motion inducing device for inducing a user's motion according to an inducing oscillator, comprising: a motion oscillator measurement means which measures a user's motion oscillator; a first oscillator generation means which generates a first oscillator which attains mutual entrainment with the motion oscillator measured by the motion oscillator measurement means by using a first model defined by a natural angular velocity in such a way as to reflect the natural angular velocity to an angular velocity of the first oscillator; a natural angular velocity setting means which modifies the natural angular velocity based on a phase difference between the motion oscillator measured by the motion oscillator measurement means and the first oscillator generated by the first oscillator generation means; a second oscillator generation means which generates a second oscillator oscillating in rhythm reflecting the modified natural angular velocity set by the natural angular velocity setting means; and an inducing oscillator generation means which generates the inducing oscillator based on the second oscillator generated by the second oscillator generation means, wherein the second oscillator generation means generates the second oscillator which oscillates in rhythm reflecting one or both of an angular velocity of the motion oscillator measured by the motion oscillator measurement means and the angular velocity of the first oscillator generated by the first oscillator generation means, instead of the modified natural angular velocity set by the natural angular velocity setting means, when a magnitude of periodic variation in the motion oscillator measured by the motion oscillator measurement means exceeds a threshold value.
