Abstract

In this talk I will present some persuasive systems we are developing and take a specific aim: can technology help orienting natural face-to-face communication to a cultural discussion? A museum visit can be considered successful if a conversation about the cultural experience develops. We foresee a stop at the museum café to be the ideal situation to introduce a tabletop interface meant to foster the conversation of the visitors. In a second situation, a dramatic computer-based presentation genre has been devised specifically for influencing and assessing mobile small group conversation.
