Turn-Taking with Improvisational Co-Creative Agents

摘要

Turn-taking is the ability for agents to lead or follow in social interactions. Turn-taking between humans and intelligent agents has been studied in human-robot interaction but has not been applied to improvisational, dance-based interactions. User understanding and experience of turn-taking in an improvisational, dance-based system known as LuminAI was investigated in a preliminary study of 11 participants. The results showed a trend towards users understanding the difference between turn-taking and non-turn-taking versions of LuminAI but reduced user experience in the turn-taking version.
