We will eventually communicate with machines in a natural way
At
the 2012 Sundance Independent Film Festival, the film robot and frank
won a special award. The film tells the story of robot taking care of
frank with Alzheimer's disease. Two pictures are selected from the film,
one is the communication between people and the other is the
communication between people and machines.
In
the hot year of AI in 2017, whether people can communicate with
machines in a human-to-human manner like Frank in the film is defined as
"human-computer natural interaction" in the Department of
human-computer interaction.
What
is natural interaction? In short, it is to interact with the computer
in the way of daily communication. What is the way of daily
communication? People communicate and interact through voice, body,
gesture, eyes, expression and other forms.
Human computer interaction is taking a new step
The
development of human computer interaction (HCI) is a process from human
adaptation to computer to computer adaptation to human beings. It is
divided into four stages: code instruction interaction, graphical user
interface interaction, human-computer natural interaction and
human-computer emotional interaction【 Quoted from human-computer
emotional interaction]
The
development of each stage is based on technology, which makes the
human-computer interaction more intuitive and closer to the natural
interaction between people. At the same time, it will broaden more use
scenarios and cover all people of all ages.
Instructions
- professional technicians operate early computers; Mouse and keyboard -
educated ordinary people use PC to study and work; Touch screen – more
people use smart phones for social networking, information,
entertainment, etc; Natural interaction – everyone will interact with
intelligent products in a natural way.
With
the development of AI technology, the ability of intelligent products
at the perception level is becoming stronger. It can perceive people's
voice, body language, gestures, expressions and eyes, and realize the
possibility of human-computer natural interaction. This is what is
happening.
The
trend of intelligent products in the future is to have affective
computing ability. By recognizing human voice information, facial
expressions and body movements, they can adjust their own feedback to
meet the needs put forward by people at that moment. Interaction will
become easier and easier, and it will understand you better.
Intelligent
products can perceive people's natural actions and read people's
emotions, which belong to the level of information input.
At
the information output level, how can intelligent products be designed
to achieve the feeling of "natural communication between people".
Therefore, we will design from six dimensions, namely character setting,
appearance modeling, voice, action, interface and light effect. Just
like the other person's temper, personality, appearance impression,
sound characteristics, body language, expression and eyes when
communicating with each other.
