• 論文抄録 / 内容記述: The Internet is now being widely used for communications. Although audio and video communication tools are finding widespread use, text-based commutation tools such as chat and instant messengers remain the primary communication medium. We believe that adding nonverbal information to a text-based communication tool enhances communication support. Thus for, the transmission of body or hand gestures is no used in daily communication. We focus our attention on “head motion” as one of the important body gestures; it can express agreeable responses during daily conversation. We have developed a head-motion communication system with an avatar called AwareCap. AwareCap uses an acceleration sensor attached to a cap to detect a user's head motion. A user’s head motion is shown by each user’s avatan The purpose of this research is to show the effect of head motion in text-based communication. AwareCap detects four types of head motions:nod, waggling, tilting, and looking down. We carried out a communication experiment using AwareCap. The result of this experiment revealed that “nod” and “tilting” are used in chat communication naturally, and they show the other user’s situation clearly. Moreover, the avatar used to show user’s head motion is referred frequently. AwareCap may potentially encourage chat commutation.
