PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an interface unit which has an input-output means that smoothly proceeds a multimodal interaction between an agent on the computer side and man. SOLUTION: This device is provided with such an inputting means 11 that inputs user's gestures, pitch of voice, etc., acquired from images and voices caused by the user, a feeling and attitude generating means 12 which generates an internal state parameter of the feeling and attitude of a personified artificial agent with an input from the means 11 as at least one element, and an outputting means 13 which represents and outputs the feeling and attitude of the artificial agent as an image and voice in accordance with the internal state parameter generated by the means 13. Because rhythm, timing, etc., are significant at the time of interaction, the means 12 represents feeling and attitude with a system that takes a temporal change such as an internal state parameter into consideration. |
