“…Observation of these recordings leads to descriptions of observable events (body movements, facial expressions, speech, etc.). These observations can be interpreted on progressively more complicated levels (see also Reidsma et al 2005). The right hand side depicts the simulation process.…”

Much working time is spent in meetings and, as a consequence, meetings have become the subject of multidisciplinary research. Virtual Meeting Rooms (VMRs) are 3D virtual replicas of meeting rooms, where various modalities such as speech, gaze, distance, gestures and facial expressions can be controlled. This allows VMRs to be used to improve remote meeting participation, to visualize multimedia data and as an instrument for research into social interaction in meetings. This paper describes how these three uses can be realized in a VMR. We describe the process from observation through annotation to simulation and a model that describes the relations between the annotated features of verbal and non-verbal conversational behavior. As an example of social perception research in the VMR, we describe an experiment to assess human observers' accuracy for head orientation.

“…Regarding influence, existing approaches assume that (1) this high-level concept can potentially be deduced from low and mid-level signal observations [23], and (2) such observations present regularities (patterns) that models for recognition and discovery are able to extract. Basu et al [4] described an approach for automatic discovery of influence, in a multi-sensor lounge room where people played interactive debating games, using the influence model.…”

We address the problem of automatically detecting participant's influence levels in meetings. The impact and social psychological background are discussed. The more influential a participant is, the more he or she influences the outcome of a meeting. Experiments on 40 meetings show that application of statistical (both dynamic and static) models while using simply obtainable features results in a best prediction performance of 70.59% when using a static model, a balanced training set, and three discrete classes: high, normal and low. Application of the detected levels are shown in various ways i.e. in a virtual meeting environment as well as in a meeting browser system.

“…The corpus based framework in [8] describes how the meetings are modeled in layers, and how the annotation could be used to enhance significantly in meeting recognition. The work done by [9] in this area is highly related with our work.…”

Abstract. During business meetings, blind persons are not able to see the meaningful movements, and facial gestures of the participants. The formal meeting minutes and / or participants' conversation during the meeting normally lack this important feedback in order to determine who is in favor and who is against their proposed suggestions. This is crucial in business negotiations, where one has to convince people and do lobbying for winning the business case in upcoming meetings. Today the devices already exist for instantly and seamlessly capturing the snapshots everywhere. The proposition suggests data capture using a similar device called SenseCam 1 , and then making these snapshots accessible for the benefit of the visually impaired users.
