چکیده

We attempted to suggest design of embodied communication of an embodied agent so that a user and the agent can establish equal social relationships in this study. To design human-agent social interaction considering the influence of human-agent embodied communication is important to construct human-agent equal social relationships. We especially focused on body orientation of the embodied agent and depth-dimensional virtual space partitioning and location of the agent in near or far side of the partition, considering gender difference in influence of body orientation and location in human-agent dyadic conversation. An experiment (N = 48) to examine the influence of these factors to performance of work (picture recognition task) and impression of the agent was conducted. The result of the experiment suggested tendency of facilitation of task performance in vis-à-vis arrangement between the user and the agent and agent’s presence in the near side of the partition regardless of gender, and salient preference of correspondence of body orientation and location in female participants. This tendency was slightly different from the influence of body arrangement in human dyadic conversation. This result should be considered in design of human-agent embodied communication.

An Aesthetics of Nature Consequences of Merleau-Ponty’s embodied ontology

In his courses on Nature, the French phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty clearly does not agree with Kant's antropocentrism. In particular the Kantian notion of the disinterestedness of aesthetic perception is untenable in an aesthetics of nature which is inspired by Merleau-Ponty's thought. Nature and human embodiment are seen as separated in this Kantian tradition. In Merleau-Ponty’s pheno...
