Eyeball Movement Model for Lecturer Character in Speech-Driven Embodied Group Entrainment System

In our previous research, we proposed an eyeball movement model that consists of a saccade model and a group gaze model for enhancing group interaction and communication. In this study, in order to evaluate the effects of the proposed model, we develop an advanced communication system in which the proposed model is used with a speech-driven embodied group entrained communication system. The effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated for performing the communication experiments with a sensory evaluation using the developed system.
