Visual Attention and Eye Gaze During Multiparty Conversations with Distractions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our objective is to develop a computational model to predict visual attention behavior for an embodied conversational agent. During interpersonal interaction, gaze provides signal feedback and directs conversation flow. Simultaneously, in a dynamic environment, gaze also directs attention to peripheral movements. An embodied conversational agent should therefore employ social gaze not only for interpersonal interaction but also to possess human attention attributes so that its eyes and facial expression portray and convey appropriate distraction and engagement behaviors.

Difference in Eye Gaze for Floor Apportionment in Native- and Second-Language Conversations
In face-to-face communication, eye gaze is known to play various roles such as managing the attention of interlocutors, expressing intimacy, exercising social control, highlighting particular speech content, and coordinating floor apportionment. For second language (L2) communication, one's perception of eye gaze is expected to have more importance than for native language (L1) because eye gaze...
متن کاملHead and eye gaze dynamics during visual attention shifts in complex environments.
The dynamics of overt visual attention shifts evoke certain patterns of responses in eye and head movements. In this work, we detail novel findings regarding the interaction of eye gaze and head pose under various attention-switching conditions in complex environments and safety critical tasks such as driving. In particular, we find that sudden, bottom-up visual cues in the periphery evoke a di...
متن کاملGaze and Conversation Dominance in Multiparty Interaction
With the goal of designing conversational agents that can join and manage conversations with multiple participants, in this paper, we conduct an experiment to collect multiparty conversations with a virtual agent, and recognize head direction as each participant’s focus of attention. Then, we analyze how gaze and mutual gaze affect floor management and conversation dominance; we assumed that th...

متن کاملHands Free Interaction with Virtual Information in a Real Environment: Eye Gaze as an Interaction Tool in an Augmented Reality System
Eye contact in human conversations is a natural source of information about the visual attention of people talking, and also indicates who is speaking to whom. Eye gaze can be used as an interaction method, but gaze tracking can also be used to monitor a user’s eye movements and visual interest. This paper describes how gaze-based interaction can be used and implemented in an Augmented Reality ...
