In this paper, we propose a voice interaction system using 3D-CG virtual agents for stand-alone smartphones. Because the proposed system can handle speech recognition and speech synthesis on a stand-alone smartphone differently from the existing mobile voice interaction systems, this system enables us to talk naturally without encountering delays caused by network communications. Moreover, proposed system can be fully customized by dialogue scripts, Java-based plugins, and Android APIs. Therefore, developers can make original voice interaction systems for smartphones easily based on proposed system. We have made a subset of the proposed system available as open-source software. We expect that this system will contribute to studies of human-agent interaction using smartphones.
