| Abstract | This paper concerns non-verbal communication, and describes especially the useof eye-gaze to signal turn-taking and feedback in conversational settings.Eye-gaze supports smooth interaction by providing signals that theinterlocutors interpret with respect to such conversational functions as takingturns and giving feedback. New possibilities to study the effect of eye-gaze onthe interlocutors’ communicative behaviour have appeared with theeye-tracking technology which in the past years has matured to the level whereits use to study naturally occurring dialogues have become easier and morereliable to conduct. It enables the tracking of eye-fixations and gaze-paths,and thus allows analysis of the person’s turn-taking and feedback behaviourthrough the analysis of their focus of attention. In this paper, experiments onthe interlocutors’ non-verbal communication in conversational settings usingthe eye-tracker are reported, and results of classifying turn-taking usingeye-gaze and gesture information are presented. Also the hybrid method thatcombines signal level analysis with human interpretation is discussed. |
