Cup-le: A cup-shaped device for conversational experiment

We propose a cup-shaped device called Cup-le for conversational experiment. Cup-le has various sensors to record participants’ nonverbal behavior such as utterance. Cup-le saves the work of attaching sensors. Also, since Cup-le appears cup-shaped, it can sense without being aware of the sensor unlike conventional wearable sensors. Moreover, by attaching touch display, Cup-le can show informatio...
