Abstract: | More than another friendly face, Rea knows how to have a conversation with living, breathing human users with a wink, a nod, and a sidelong glace. Animals and humans all manifest social qualities and skills. Perhaps because conversation is so defining of humaneness and human interaction, the metaphor of face-to-face conversation has been applied to human-computer interface design for quite some time. The author describes some of the features of human-human conversation being implemented in the new genre of embodied conversational agent. |
