In order to give the child the impression that a character is listening to their
stories, we have invented a clever mechanism that captures the motions and speech
of a child using sensors and audio processing. Continuing in the vein of research
on story-listening toys, we have built Dolltalk to encourage children to tell
and act out original stories. Dolltalk consists of two dolls and a system that
records and plays back the stories. The playback alters the pitch of the child’s
voice higher or lower depending on which doll is supposed to be speaking. Children
play with their customized dolls and tell their stories, which are recorded and
played back with the same content but with different voices. Dolltalk gives the
illusion that it can truly listen by analyzing their physical gestures and speech.
This research originated in the Gesture and Narrative Language Group.
