Abstract

AgentSalon is a part of a body of research on personal guidance system for exhibition tours. AgentSalon is a system that facilitates face-to-face knowledge exchange and discussion between users by tempting them to a chat via prompting by their personal agents, which maintain their personal interests and experiences. We prototyped AgentSalon as a kind of information kiosk assumed to be located in a meeting place of an exhibition site, with a large touch panel screen for use by two to five users simultaneously.
