Keynote Speech

Persuasive Technology and Emotions

Prof. Kaoru Sumi 
(Future University Hakodate,Japan)

Abstract: Intelligent interactions using Artificial Intelligence and remote interactions in which humans act as artifacts, such as avatars, in virtual spaces are becoming more familiar to the public. I believe that it is important to use emotions for intelligent interaction so that I will discuss the possibility of human-agent interaction and human-robot interaction using emotions by introducing several research cases. I will discuss persuasive technology that systems can utilize to influence human behavior, along with impressions and applications of facial expressions and gestures [1]. Then I will introduce a game-based story generation system [2] that automatically generates a script in real time from the emotions and actions of a player in a virtual space. Finally, I will discuss the potential of virtual agents and robots[3][4] that interact with other users in virtual or real space.
