SCGE Model Introducing Productivity Improvement by Interregional Face-to-Face Communication

Neural synchronization during face-to-face communication.

Although the human brain may have evolutionarily adapted to face-to-face communication, other modes of communication, e.g., telephone and e-mail, increasingly dominate our modern daily life. This study examined the neural difference between face-to-face communication and other types of communication by simultaneously measuring two brains using a hyperscanning approach. The results showed a sign...

Moving face-to-face communication to Web-based systems

Virtual talking heads and ambiant face-to- face communication

. We describe here our first effort for developing a virtual talking head able to engage a situated face-to-face interaction with a human partner. This paper concentrates on the low-level components of this interaction loop and the cognitive impact of the implementation of mutual attention and multimodal deixis on the communication task.

Direct Face-to-Face Communication Between Real and Virtual Humans

Interaction in graphical systems is becoming more and more multimodal. Use of the conventional mode of 2D widget-mouse or keyboard interaction is not very natural for many applications. For the comfort of disabled persons who may not be able to use the hand input devices, it is necessary to explore means for interactive controls for them. In this paper, we discuss real time interaction through ...

Multimodal Communication in Face-to-Face Computer-Mediated Conversations

Multimodal communication involves multiple communicative channels including speech, facial movement, and gesture. Relatively few studies on how various communicative modalities are aligned in natural, face-to-face communication exist. As part of a larger project, the current study investigates how discourse structure, speech features, eye gaze, and facial movements interrelate during a map coor...
