Interactional Coordination and Alignment: Gestures in Indoor Cycling Courses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interactions provide opportunities for coordination that can be enacted via gestures. Interactions in a sports setting (in our case indoor cycling classes) provide opportunities and demands for coordination that go beyond typical face-to-face interaction. In this paper, we investigate how a trainer motivates the trainees and with a focus on the methods that are applied. The approach presented here conceptualizes “gestures“ as an interactional phenomenon rather than the mere utilization of specific body parts. Our analysis shows that pedaling in indoor cycling courses can be understood “gestures“ getting interactional functions.

On the coordination of gestures of humanoids
Hand gestures are important means of expressivity for humanoids. In this paper by humanoid we understand user-controlled or autonomous virtual humans (VHs) or conversational agents (ECAs) [4] as well as human-like robots [18]. We cover both cases of human-humanoid and humanoid-humanoid interaction. The semantics, the morphology, the variations in performance of gestures reflecting cultural, aff...
متن کاملReusable Motivational Instruction Patterns for Socially Assistive Robots
Robots are increasingly tested in socially assistive scenarios. Future applications range from dieting, coaching, tutoring to autism therapy. In order to have a successful interaction with an artificial system, these systems need to have an interactional motivation model of how to assist users and encourage them to keep on with the task. In previous work, we have investigated how to build such ...
متن کاملCo-Production of Contrastive Prosodic Focus and Manual Gestures: Temporal Coordination and Effects on the Acoustic and Articulatory Correlates of Focus
Speech, and prosody in particular, is tightly linked to manual gestures. This study investigates the coordination of prosodic contrastive focus and different manual gestures (pointing, beat and control gestures). We used motion capture on ten speakers to explore this issue. The results show that prosodic focus "attracts" the manual gesture whichever its type, the temporal alignment being strict...
متن کاملPointing to a target while naming it with /pata/ or /tapa/: the effect of consonants and stress position on jaw-finger coordination
This study investigates jaw-finger coordination in a task consisting in pointing to a target while naming it with a /pata/ or a /tapa/ utterance stressed either on the first ('CVCV) or on the second (CV'CV) syllable. Optotrack measurements of jaw and finger displacements show that for 'CVCV names, the moment at with the finger reaches the target alignment is synchronized with the maximum of the...
