How do you imagine social interaction within 10 years, taking into consideration the
when people talk to each other, the majority of the information thats conveyed comes from the way we say things, rather than the words we are actually saying. eye-contact, smiles, voice- modulation, speaking rate, pauses and emphasis on certain words often add an extra layer of
information in our interactions. many of us want to improve these interaction skills, but don't have the resources to do so. imagine if you could practice your interaction skills with an automated system in the privacy of your own living room. a program designed at the mit media
lab lets you do just that. "hi i am mary. i'm looking forward to doing your interview." my automated conversation coach, consists of a 3-d character on a computer screen that can see, hear, and make its own decisions based on its interactions with a person. and it works on a
personal computer. "now, lets get started." using a webcam, the system can analyze facial expressions. for example, it can measure where in the interaction you are smiling, and can recognize your head gestures such as a nod or shake. the system also analyzes
your voice. it not only understands what you say, but how you say it. using real-time, speech- recognition and prosody analysis it can capture the non-verbal nuances of conversations and display it in an intuitive format. when you're done it gives you a summary of the information:
when you smiled, how fast you spoke, and so on. and it can show how these measures change over multiple sessions. it even allows you to watch the video of your interactions with various measures of your behavior displayed alongside the video. such as when you smile, how the
volume of your voice rises and falls, and what words you emphasize. it even shows when your attention wanders. "i can't find you." "there you are." "you were saying?" in a study with 90 mit under- graduates, the subjects went
through simulated job interviews before and after receiving this training. those who got the feedback from this automated system, were rated as better candidates for the job than those who did not. besides job interviews, the researchers say this system could
help with public speaking, dating learning languages, or helping people who have difficulties in social communications.
