ABSTRACT
Information kiosks provide useful information to many people in many different situations and they should be easy to use since persons with little or no knowledge of computing may use them. One way to ease interaction between a user and a kiosk is multimodal interaction. In this paper, we present a multimodal kiosk that includes a computer vision component and an interactive agent that makes use of computer vision. We also discuss preliminary results of user tests that were carried out with the kiosk.

Receptionist or information kiosk: how do people talk with a robot?
CSCW '10: Proceedings of the 2010 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative workThe mental structures that people apply towards other people have been shown to influence the way people cooperate with others. These mental structures or schemas evoke behavioral scripts. In this paper, we explore two different scripts, receptionist ...
Proposal of a Multimodal Interaction Description Language for Various Interactive Agents
In this paper, we propose a new multimodal interaction description language, MIML (Multimodal Interaction Markup Language), which defines dialogue patterns between human and various types of interactive agents. The feature of this language is three-...
R3D3: The Rolling Receptionist Robot with Double Dutch Dialogue
HRI '17: Proceedings of the Companion of the 2017 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionWe discuss the design of R3D3, a rolling receptionist robot with the ability to conduct 'double Dutch dialogues': dialogues (in Dutch) that involve, besides a human user, both a robot and a virtual human. R3D3 is intended to assist people when they ...
