Promoting Engagement in Self-Reviewing Presentation with Robot

It is difficult for unskillful researchers to self-review their own presentation. In self-review with their presentation video, they would feel quite uncomfortable due to their looks and voice on it. In order to address this issue, we developed a presentation avatar as virtual character on PC, which reproduced presentation researchers made, and which allowed them to self-review with less uncomfortableness. In the case study with the presentation avatar, we ascertained that it promoted self-review more significantly than presentation video. On the other hand, we also ascertained that unskillful researchers had difficulties in finding out points to be modified about nonverbal behavior. In addition, they would also have difficulties in minutely self-reviewing their presentation. Towards resolving these issues, we demonstrate a presentation robot, which reproduces presentation made by researchers, and which allows them to promote their engagement and awareness of points to be modified in self-reviewing. We also propose a model of research presentation behavior, whose purpose is to design a checklist including points to be reviewed. The results of a case study with the system suggest the potential of the presentation robot for promoting engagement in self-reviewing presentation.
