Abstract(in English) | A new concept of a virtual communication system for human interaction analysis is proposed, and the prototype of the system is developed where two avatars corresponding to their talkers, referred to as "virtual actors(VAs)", act on the basis of the talkers' nonverbal behavior and physiological measurements such as respiration and heart rate variability. Two remote talkers can communicate by observing their VAs including his or her own VA in virtual face-to-face environment from any view points. At the same time, the human interaction is analyzed and synthesized by the data of the nonverbal behavior of VAs and the talkers' physiological measurements. The effectiveness of the system is demonstrated in the experiment under condition that only head movements of VAs are communicated together with talkers' voices. In particular, the existence of respiratory entrainment between talkers, which is biologically essential to human interaction, is ascertained in the virtual communication which includes his or her VA. The possibility of a new transmission of situation awareness in communication is also discussed. |
