How was your day?: a companion ECA
Marc Cavazza, Raúl Santos de la Cámara, Markku Turunen · 2010
We demonstrate a “Companion ” ECA, which is able to provide advice and support to the user, taking into account emotions expressed by her through dialogue. The integration of all required multimodal I/O components is based on interaction strategies defining the shape of dialogue, on the ECA’s response times, and on the underlying affective strategy. The system supports free conversation on an everyday life scenario in which the user comments her day at the office. Categories and Subject Descriptors H.5.2 [User Interfaces] (D.2.2, H.1.2, I.3.6)
