Designing for Conversational Interaction

چکیده
In this paper we describe an interaction framework which classifies musicians’ interactions with virtual musical instruments into three modes: instrumental, ornamental and conversational. We argue that conversational interactions are the most difficult to design for, but also the most interesting. To illustrate our approach to designing for conversational interactions we describe the performance work Partial Reflections 3 for two clarinets and interactive software. This software uses simulated physical models to create a virtual sound sculpture which both responds to and produces sounds and visuals.

Domain Specific Design Patterns: Designing For Conversational User Interfaces
Designing conversational user interface experience is complicated because conversation comes with many expectations. When these expectations are met, we feel the interface is natural, but once violated, we feel something is amiss. The last decade witnessed human language technologies and behaviours to enable humans converse with software using spoken dialogue to access, create and process infor...
متن کاملDesigning a Conversational Interface for a Multimodal Smartphone Programming-by-Demonstration Agent
In this position paper, we first summarize our work on designing the conversational interface for SUGILITE – a multimodal programming by demonstration system that enables a virtual agent to learn how to handle out-ofdomain commands and perform the tasks using available third-party mobile apps in task-oriented dialogs from the user’s demonstrations. We then discuss our planned future work on ena...
متن کاملTag Questions in Persian: Investigating the Conversational Functions
This article intends to identify the use and typify the functions of tag questions (TQs) in Persian everyday conversations and dialogic interaction. The analyses were made based on two data sources: A documentary film titled Commander in which the participants are engaged in free interactions, and an audio-recorded instrument named CALLFRIEND which consists of Iranian native...
متن کاملDesigning and Evaluating Virtual Musical Instruments: Facilitating Conversational User Interaction
This paper is concerned with the design of interactive virtual musical instruments. An interaction design strategy which uses on-screen objects that respond to user actions in physically realistic ways is described. This approach allows musicians to ‘play’ the virtual instruments using the sound of their familiar acoustic instruments. An investigation of user experience identified three modes o...
متن کاملAn Exploratory Study Toward the Preferred Conversational Style for Compatible Virtual Agents
Designing virtual personal assistants that are able to engage users in an interaction have been a challenge for HCI researchers for the past 20 years. In this work we investigated how a set of vocal characteristics known as “conversational style” could play role in engaging users in an interaction with a virtual agent. We also examined whether the similarity attraction principle influences how ...
