Emergence of synchrony in an Adaptive Interaction Model

TL;DR

This paper proposes an adaptive interaction model for human-computer interaction that fosters emergent synchrony in non-verbal communication across embodied conversational and musical improvisation agents.

Contribution

It introduces a novel generic interaction framework that promotes synchronization in non-verbal cues for diverse HCI applications.

Findings

Synchronization emerges from non-verbal interaction cues

Enhanced adaptability improves agent responsiveness

Applicable to conversational and musical contexts

Abstract

In a Human-Computer Interaction context, we aim to elaborate an adaptive and generic interaction model in two different use cases: Embodied Conversational Agents and Creative Musical Agents for musical improvisation. To reach this goal, we'll try to use the concepts of adaptation and synchronization to enhance the interactive abilities of our agents and guide the development of our interaction model, and will try to make synchrony emerge from non-verbal dimensions of interaction.
