人机交互是界面设计的下一个前沿领域，特别是对于社会性或协作性的任务。已经为特定的社会、地点相关任务开发了几个具体的界面代理，但对这些系统的实证评估很少。在这项工作中，我们提出了Marve（消息传递和识别虚拟实体），我们的通用虚拟人机界面框架，它将尖端的接口技术集成到一个无缝的实时系统中，以研究人与虚拟人的交互。Marve是一个实时具体化、交互式、自主的虚拟人机界面代理框架的原型。Marve“住”在未来计算实验室的主入口旁边。他的主要任务是迎接每一个进出实验室的人，并向在那里工作的学生和教师传递信息。Marve使用计算机视觉技术进行路人检测、目光跟踪和面部识别，并通过自然语言进行交流。我们对Marve的基本元素进行了初步的实证研究，包括交互响应时间、对朋友的识别以及学习识别新朋友的能力。
Human to virtual human interaction is the next frontier in interface design, particularly for tasks that are social or collaborative in nature. Several embodied interface agents have been developed for specific social, place-related tasks, but empirical evaluations of these systems have been rare. In this work, we present Marve (Messaging And Recognition Virtual Entity), our general purpose Virtual Human Interface Framework, which integrates cutting-edge interface technologies into a seamless real-time system, to study human to virtual human interaction. Marve is a prototype of a real-time embodied, interactive, autonomous, virtual human interface agent framework. Marve “lives” next to the primary entrance of the Future Computing Lab. His primary tasks are to greet everyone who enters or leaves the lab, and to take and deliver messages to the students and faculty who work there. Marve uses computer vision techniques for passer-by detection, gaze tracking, and face recognition, and communicates via natural language. We present a preliminary empirical study of the basic elements of Marve, including interaction response times, recognition of friends, and ability to learn to recognize new people.
