Abstract

The key to creativity does not lie solely in the mental process. It is also regarded as a cultural or social activity. Methods of supporting creative ideas generation have been studied and researched widely in various domains. Among such studies, Gerald has summarized 172 methods that can be applied to creative ideas generation. Although his research has covered the most used strategies, yet, synaesthesia as an incredible phenomenon in which the stimulus arouses one or more additional sensory experiences has never been adopted as a strategy to generate ideas. The aim of this research is to support creative ideas generation by merging computers and synaesthetic experiences. Hence, a visual-related synesthesia-based creativity support system is proposed to support creative ideas generation. Initially, synaesthesia is divided into synaesthesia clusters composed of five sensory stimuli (e.g., visual-visual, visual-auditory) by analyzing synaesthetic experiences recorded in various literature. Then, synaesthesia clusters related to vision were selected as the most prevalent synaesthetic experience to generate a variety of rules. As a result, various rules are fused to produce numerous imaginative elements for people to select, thus promoting the human imagination, and supporting creative ideas.
