Abstract(in English) We present shared visual feedback for supporting conversations in contingent auditory environments. To facilitate the initiation of conversations in such environments, it is critical that the caller be able to grasp an auditory channel between the caller's mouth and the receiver's ear, and to vocalize at the voice level proper for the receiver. To achieve this goal, feedback of the voice level as measured at the receiver's ear is needed. Our starting point was a first generation prototype that displays visual feedback on the caller's screen. To remove the weaknesses of the first generation prototype, our latest proposal projects visual feedback onto the floor in the receiver's room. An experiment was conducted to compare the floor display to the screen display.
