Conversation piece: a speech-based interactive art installation

Published: 29 September 2007 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we present Conversation Piece, an interactive audio installation that can hold conversations with up to three people at any one time. Conceived as an artwork that explores the boundaries between virtual and 'real world' experience, Conversation Piece incorporates a number of speech technologies. This paper describes the installation and gives an account of the technologies employed in its realization.
