Do they use different set of non-verbal language in turn-taking in distributed conferences?

Abstract

Our aim is to create an environment where we can change a speaker smoothly. To avoid speech contention, we try to investigate what is the main reason of it. In this paper, we experimented to investigate what kind and how many non-verbal information appeared in distributed conferences. The result said that, non-verbal information such as nodding and back-channel feedback appeared decreasingly, even though they did conferences with video conference, no delay. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
