Abstract

We demonstrate a "Companion" ECA, which is able to provide advice and support to the user, taking into account emotions expressed by her through dialogue. The integration of all required multimodal I/O components is based on interaction strategies defining the shape of dialogue, on the ECA's response times, and on the underlying affective strategy. The system supports free conversation on an everyday life scenario in which the user comments her day at the office.
