To further utilize this capability, systems that automatically adjust the playback speed according to the user’s condition and the type of content to assist in more efficient comprehension of time-series content have been developed. However, there is still room for these systems to further extend human speed-listening ability by generating speech with playback speed optimized for even finer time units and providing it to humans. In this study, we determine whether humans can hear the optimized speech and propose a system that automatically adjusts playback speed at units as small as phonemes while ensuring speech intelligibility. The system uses the speech recognizer score as a proxy for how well a human can hear a certain unit of speech and maximizes the speech playback speed to the extent that a human can hear. This method can be used to produce fast but intelligible speech. In the evaluation experiment, we compared the speech played back at a constant fast speed and the flexibly speed-up speech generated by the proposed method in a blind test and confirmed that the proposed method produced speech that was easier to listen to.","PeriodicalId":115371,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Augmented Humans International Conference 2023","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122610958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is critical that users trust these AI agents in order to use them effectively. Given that people tend to trust other people who are similar to themselves, incorporating features of one’s own face into the AI agent’s face may improve one’s trust in the AI agent. However, it is still unclear how impressions differ when comparing agents with the same appearance as one’s own and some similarities under the same conditions. Recognizing the appropriate level of similarity when using a self-similar agent is important for establishing a trustworthy agent relationship between people and the AI agent. Therefore, we investigated the effect of the degree of self-similarity of the face of the AI agent on the user’s trust in the agent. We examined users’ impressions of four AI agents with different degrees of face self-similarity in different scenarios. The results showed that the AI agent, whose similarity to the user’s facial feature was slightly recognizable but not obvious, received higher ratings on the feeling of closeness, attractiveness, and facial preferences. These self-similar AI agents were also more trustworthy in everyday non-serious decisions and were more likely to improve people’s trustworthiness in such situations. Finally, we discuss the potential applications of our findings to design real-world AI agents.","PeriodicalId":115371,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Augmented Humans International Conference 2023","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132756981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we examined how integrating virtual reality with a robotic massage system could enhance users' social perception of the robot. We implemented a virtual out-of-body experience in the robotic massage system, allowing users to view their own bodies as avatars and observe the robot's approach. Our hypothesis was that adding visual information, such as a color change or cast shadow motion, could improve the social impression of the robot. The results of our human-subject study demonstrated that the robot was perceived as more competent and warmer when the approach of the robotic arm was accompanied by a gradual change in color, while the robot was evaluated as more comfortable when the approach was accompanied by a cast shadow motion. These findings suggest that the combination of a robotic massage system with virtual reality, such as a virtual out-of-body experience, could improve users' social perception of the robotic system, resulting in a feeling of safety, warmth, and comfort during the massage.","PeriodicalId":115371,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Augmented Humans International Conference 2023","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115149685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For example, videoconferencing has been found to cause fatigue, attributed to the cognitive load caused by constant exposure to the gaze of multiple persons and the effort to acquire limited non-verbal information from visual sources. However, current videoconferencing and VR technologies are being developed to increase the amount of visual information to enhance telepresence, resulting in a higher cognitive load.Therefore, in this study, we focused on low-light environments where the amount of visual information is low, and by using shadows instead of camera images as a communication interface, we developed a system that enables communication with people in remote locations with low cognitive load for long periods of time without disturbing their immersion in other content. We conducted an experiment in which participants were asked to read a manga for 5 minutes while engaging in a brief conversation about the manga by using this system every minute. The results showed that the system significantly reduced vertical eye movement compared to videoconferencing using a display (p < 0.05) and that the system did not interfere with concentration on reading manga more than videoconferencing. These results suggest that this system is more effective than videoconferencing in terms of sharing the same time with person located remotely with minimal cognitive load, even while they are connected for a long time and doing in different activities.","PeriodicalId":115371,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Augmented Humans International Conference 2023","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126243691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These objects become visual noise. Visual noise tends to reduce the worker’s concentration on their work. Therefore, it is desirable to have an uncluttered environment to work. We propose DecluttAR, a system that controls the visibility of clutter objects by using a video see-through head-mounted display and an RGB-D camera. Our system first generates a 3D model of the empty desk, and then automatically generates a 3D model of each object that is newly placed on the desk. Then, the user can interactively control each object’s visibility which is superimposed on the corresponding real object. Four types of object appearance adjustments are implemented: normal, grayscale, outline, and transparency. To investigate changes in the ability to concentrate in different appearances, a user study was conducted in which a simple arithmetic task was performed in four appearances. The results show that the number of answers in the arithmetic task for the transparent display increased compared to the normal display in the first half of the task. This result indicates that the participants are able to enter a state of concentration on the task more quickly by making the object invisible. In addition, the questionnaire-based subjective evaluation revealed that the transparent display had a lower workload and a higher user evaluation followed by the outline display.","PeriodicalId":115371,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Augmented Humans International Conference 2023","volume":"298 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122189192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing the superiority of visual information over auditory information, we created an interpersonal situation in which only the sound image of an avatar invades the user’s personal space (PS). We investigated the impressions that 16 participants had of this avatar. The results showed that when the sound image invaded the user’s PS and approached the user, rapport significantly increased (p<0.05) for the questionnaire item “I have a harmonious relationship with this salesperson,” while rapport significantly decreased (p<0.05) for the questionnaire item “I feel comfortable engaging with this salesperson.” These findings suggest that the manipulation of sound image position may allow the salesperson to manipulate the impression held by the customer and there is potential for improving the interpersonal skills of salespeople. The method proposed in this paper, in which the position of the visual and sound image diverge, is expected to improve rapport building and thereby the value cocreation of the interpersonal service in VEs, such as virtual stores, which have been increasing in recent years.","PeriodicalId":115371,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Augmented Humans International Conference 2023","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124004931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
