Graduate study

• Acquire rules of verbal and nonverbal behaviors in multi-party conversation(Make dictionary and grammers of Human behaviors)
• Detect nonverbal behaviors automatically from sensors data
• Develop the environment for recording and analyzing multi-party conversations → IMADE-room, iCorpusStudio

IMADE-room

• The environment for recording multi-party conversation
• Sensors: Motion capture, Eye tracking, Network camera array, Head-worn microphone, Acceleration sensors...etc

iCorpusStudio

• Show multiple movies and sounds at the same time
• Show and compute sensor data, annotation data(labels), and motion data(3Ddata)
