Speech-driven embodied entrainment character system with pupillary response

We have developed a speech-driven embodied entrainment character called “InterActor” that has functions of both speaker and listener for supporting human interaction and communication. This character would generate communicative actions and movements such as nodding, body movements, and eyeball move...
