Investigation on the Design of Anthropomorphic Oral Presentation Assistant Training System

Abstract

Oral presentation is a formal talk on a specific topic given to the audience through presentation tool. With the widespread use of oral presentations in a variety of professions, the ability to deliver an oral presentation using PowerPoint is becoming increasingly important. However, when a speaker practices alone, the presenter is unable to communicate with the audience, which means that the emotional input is unaffected, resulting in the training effect. A presentation assistant training system is designed using the anthropomorphic design concept which consists anthropomorphic appearance sensor to enable presentation practitioners to receive emotional feedback in the anthropomorphic appearance and further sensory immersion, thereby improving the training effect. The results of a comparative grouping experiment with 60 students at a university reveal that the system based on anthropomorphic design aspects has a greater practice effect. The design of the system has viable importance to improve oral presentation ability which also opens up for the improvement of the system, product research, and development.

Technical talent training effectiveness: vocal versus visual feedback

“…Both types of support require evaluation technology that supports the understanding of the presenter's expression, and visualization of the presentation content, automatic evaluation of the presentation content, and manual evaluation was discussed. Among them, Zhao proposed and developed a presentation practice support system focusing on body expression and vocal expression as presentation support for presenters [13]). Real-time feedback to the presenter is required to realize presentation support.…”
