We aim at creating Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs) able to communicate multimodally with a user or with other ECAs. In this paper we focus on the Gestural Mind Markers, that ...
We sought to create a social embodied conversational agent to support group interactions, using ‘balance theory’ from social science research on human-human relations. We cond...
