title: Research on Social Engagement with a Rabbitic User Interface creator: Payr, Sabine creator: Wallis, Peter creator: Cunningham, Stuart creator: Hawley, Mark subject: Applied Cognitive Psychology subject: Behavioral Analysis subject: Artificial Intelligence subject: Human Computer Interaction subject: Computational Linguistics subject: Social Psychology description: Companions as interfaces to smart rooms need not only to be easy to interact with, but also to maintain long-term relationships with their users. The FP7-funded project SERA (Social Engagement with Robots and Agents) contributes to knowledge about and modeling of such relationships. One focal activity is an iterative field study to collect real-life long-term interaction data with a robotic interface. The first stage of this study has been completed. This paper reports on the set-up and the first insights. publisher: ICT&S Center, Salzburg, Austria (EU) contributor: Tscheligi, M. contributor: de Ruyter, B. contributor: Soldatos, J. contributor: Meschtscherjakov, A. contributor: Buiza, C. contributor: Streitz, N. contributor: Mirlacher, T. date: 2009-11 type: Conference Paper type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/6864/1/rabbitic-v4.pdf identifier: Payr, Sabine and Wallis, Peter and Cunningham, Stuart and Hawley, Mark (2009) Research on Social Engagement with a Rabbitic User Interface.
