2121-1 音声駆動型複数身体引き込みコミュニケーションシステム

Abstract

This paper proposes the concept of a speech driven embodied entrainment communication system for activating group communication, and develops the prototype of the system. The system creates communication "Ba" where electronic interactive actors called "InterActors" with both functions of speaker and listener by generating the whole body motion such as nodding, blinking and the actions of head, arms and waist coherently related speech input are entrained one another as a teacher and some students in the same virtual room. By using the system, talkers can communicate with the sense of unity through the entrained InterActors including pseudo-students' InterActors by only speech input via network. The effectiveness of the system is demonstrated by sensory evaluation.
