Timeline
Week 1-2
Introduction to course and project development.
Week 3 - Proposal - 4/12
- This.
- Meet with Juan.
- Find desk and desk lamp for "me vs. the computer" staging of microphone/speech recognition system.
Week 4
Work time.
Week 5 - Milestone 1 - 4/26
Working model of each of two tracks:
- Participant speaking to computer.
- Computer/printer speaking to itself (feedback loop). Interpreting printer sounds as speech. Or transforming them into spech.
Week 6
Realize that the best approach will combine elements of each of the two tracks above.
Week 7 - Milestone 2 - 5/10
Characterization of system:
- Software agent? agency.
- Interruptions.
- Unexpected responses.
- Basic state modeling (emotional states, psychological states).
- Basic drive modeling (for novelty, entertainment, activity, rest, conversation on certain topics).
Attention to possible choices of text.
I imagine these two go hand in hand.
Week 8
Have others experience the system, try it out.
Week 9 - Milestone 3 - 5/24
Near-final form, near-final realization.
Viewer interaction tests.
Week 10
Final changes, improvements, last minute blitz.
