Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) InterActor is the speech-driven embodied entrainment character for activating human interaction and communication by embodied rhythms between speech and body motions such as nodding in human face-to-face conversation. We have developed speech-driven embodied entrainment systems "InterPointer" and "InterVibrator" which support embodied interaction and communication for both a lecturer and audiences. InterPointer is a pointing device with a visualized response equivalent to nodding response in the same timing as listener's InterActor to speech input. InterVibrator is a vibration device with a vibratory response by nodding response in the same way. In this paper, the integrative system of InterPointer and InterVibrator is developed, and the effectiveness of the system is demonstrated by sensory evaluation experiment of presentation with the system. A lecturer and audiences can enjoy good presentation, because they can share embodied rhythms and feel the sense of unity.
