Title
Abstract
Please Note the time & location. This seminar will begin at 3.30pm
In future online communication, everyone should be able to communicate equally and with humanity. We hope that it will be an important tool to support an accessible and inclusive society that is accommodating to diversity in terms of disabilities, culture, gender, and so on.
One of the keys to humanistic communication is the exchange of a wide range of non-verbal information. In this talk, I will introduce our group's ongoing efforts toward the transmission of non-verbal information for the realization of future online communication systems.
