An Operational Model of Joint Attention - Timing of Gaze Patterns in Interactions between Humans and a Virtual Human
نویسنده
چکیده
Joint attention has been identified as a foundational skill in human-human interaction. If virtual humans are to engage in joint attention, they have to meet the expectations of their human interaction partner and provide interactional signals in a natural way. This requires operational models of joint attention with precise information on natural gaze timing. We substantiate our model of the joint attention process by studying human-agent interactions in immersive virtual reality and present results on the timing of referential gaze during the initiation of joint attention.

متن کاملAn Operational Model of Joint Attention – Timing of the Initiate-Act in Interactions with a Virtual Human
Joint attention has been identified as a foundational skill in human-human interaction. In our research, we use virtual humans to evaluate cognitive models, here, enabling them to egage in joint attention. This requires an operational model with precise information on natural gaze timing. We aim at substantiating our model of joint attention (Pfeiffer-Leßmann & Wachsmuth 2009) by studying human...
متن کاملA Multimodal Real-Time Platform for Studying Human-Avatar Interactions
A better understanding of the human user’s expectations and sensitivities to the real-time behavior generated by virtual agents can provide insightful empirical data and infer useful principles to guide the design of intelligent virtual agents. In light of this, we propose and implement a research framework to systematically study and evaluate different important aspects of multimodal real-time...
متن کاملClimate-Human interaction over the Iranian Plateau during the Upper Pleistocene-Holocene: A review
During the past two decades an array of studies have shed light on potential links between the evolution of Hominids as well as Human dispersal out of Africa and episodes of abrupt climate change. Although archaeological evidences suggest that anatomically modified humans appeared in Africa between 200 and 150 ky ago, the timing of the early humans migration out of Africa remained unclear. Stra...
متن کاملJoint Attention in Human-Robot Interaction
We propose a computational model of joint attention consisting of three parts: responding to joint attention, initiating joint attention, and ensuring joint attention. This model is supported by psychological findings and matches the developmental timeline in humans. We present two experiments that test this model and investigate joint attention in human-robot interaction. The first experiment ...
