Assessing Usefulness of a Visual Blending System: “Pictionary Has Used Image-making New Meaning Logic for Decades. We Don’t Need a Computational Platform to Explore the Blending Phenomena”, Do We?

Authors

Abstract

Visual blending can be employed for the visual representation of concepts, merging input representations to obtain new meanings. Yet, the question arises whether there is any need for a computational approach to visual blending. We address the topic using different points of view and conduct two user studies to assess the usefulness of a visual blending system.
