Abstract

Aiming at rich and useful communication in our daily home life, we propose a novel communication concept, "ComAdapter", in which people can mutually share their intention and emotion by exchanging their spontaneous behavior. ComAdapter can create shared space communication that allow us to communicate with another party in a remote location as though other party has entered our room. To achieve this, ComAdapter offsets the differences in the configurations of the rooms. In a simple preliminary system, body motions are successfully adapted and transmitted between two rooms with different layout. The success of the experiment confirms the validity and potential of ComAdapter.
