Abstract

Our objective is to clarify how to increase the satisfaction of participants in a service design group dialogue. As a basic study, experiments were conducted, and two dialogue corpora were constructed: one face-to-face and the other online. The face-to-face dialogue corpus consisted of 17 groups of four people, and the online corpus consisted of ten groups of four people. Each dialogue lasted 40 min, and various video, voice, data, and 3D point cloud data were acquired. We also administered multiple questionnaires to investigate the participants’ satisfaction. We introduce the contents of the corpora and describe our initial analysis comparing face-to-face and online communication.
