Upcoming Webinar with Crispin Reedy

“Conversational User Interfaces: Past and Future”?

 

How can chatbots learn from existing VUI design? What makes these new interfaces different, and how are they similar?  Where do the Alexas and Siris come into the mix? We’ll discuss text-based vs. voice-based conversational user interfaces, and the landscape of Conversational User Interfaces, now and into the future.

Tue, May 23, 2017 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM CDT

Conversational Turn-Taking & Social Robotics

Calling a company and dealing with a system-initiated IVR is the extent of most people’s experience interacting with a spoken dialogue system. This will change with social robots. What is the etiquette when conversing with a robot? Who talks when? What are the boundaries of acceptable things to say? With each evolutionary step forward, the rules of turn-taking shift. We focus on the fascinating challenges faced by the Jibo design team while creating the foundations for a human-robot conversation.
