CHI’19 Extended Abstracts, LBW1216, 6 pages, doi>10.1145/3290607.3313075, 2019.5. Abstract When a non-native speaker talks with a native speaker, he/she sometimes feels hard to take speaking turns due to language proficiency. The resulting conversation between a non-native speaker and a native speaker is not always productive. In this paper, we propose a conversational agent to support a non-native speaker in his/her second language conversation. The agent joins the conversation and makes intervention by a simple script based on turn-taking rules for taking the agent’s…

Abstract In recent years, mental health management of employees in companies has become increasingly important. As the number of psychotherapists is not enough, it is necessary for employees to be able to keep their mental wellness on their own. A self-guided mental healthcare course using VR devices has been developed, and its stress reduction effect has been validated previously. This study proposes a new version of the course using…

Our lab member, Kosuke Sasaki presented his work titled “An automated structural approach to support theatrical performances by introducing gesture recognition to a cuing system” at CollabTech 2019. His paper is part of Springer’s LNCS 11677.
Abstract Our goal is to facilitate real-time serial cooperative work. In real-time serial cooperative work, the order of subtasks is important because a failure of the order leads to a failure of the whole task. So, coordinating the order of workers’ subtasks is necessary to smoothly accomplish the tasks. In this paper, we propose a method that uses vibration to present the action order and coordinate the orders. We conducted a user study to verify the effectiveness of the method in theatrical performance practice, which was an example of real-time serial cooperative work. As a result, order coordination reduced mistakes…
Interaction Lab’s director, Professor Tomoo Inoue presented works titled “Speech Speed Awareness System slows down native speaker’s” at CollabTech 2019. His paper is becoming part of Springer’s LNCS 11677 book.
Abstract: In theatrical performance practices, actors are stressed once practice stops due to occurring mistakes. Our goal is to reduce the number of mistakes occurring in the theatrical performance practice by cuing the action order. We introduce a cuing system which uses tactile cues through vibrations and notifies actors of the turn of actions. We also reported the user study of the system. The results of the study suggested that the task-order coordination by the cuing system may be used not only for theatrical performance practices, but also for other real-time collaborative works with serial tasks.
