Abstract

The embodied communication system for mind connection (E-COSMIC) has been developed by applying the entrainment mechanism of the embodied rhythms of nodding and body movements to physical robots and CG characters in verbal communication. E-COSMIC comprises an embodied virtual communication system for human interaction analysis by synthesis and a speech-driven embodied interaction system for supporting essential human interaction and communication based on the analysis that uses the embodied virtual communication system. A human-entrained embodied interaction and communication technology for an advanced media society is introduced through some applications of E-COSMIC. A generation and control technology of human entrained embodied media is also introduced.
