| Abstract(in English) | An automatic baton motion generation algorithm of CG avatar based on the user's utterance is proposed, in order to facilitate multi-party casual chat in a virtual-space voice chat system. The proposed algorithm is comprised of three components those are calculated from the user and partner's utterance. The first is the utterance enhancement component that is the essential function of baton. The emphasis component detects the higher-level voice and probabilistically generates baton motion. The probability is modulated by other two components. The conversational predominance component increases the probability in order to reflect the increase of baton in persuasive utterance. The conversational activity that is defined as the conversational turn-taking frequency also increases the probability. A prototype virtual-space voice chat system demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed algorithm. |
