Presentation Skills Training System Using Vibration Notification in a HyFlex Workshop

Abstract

The need for presentation skills is increasing year by year, and presentation lectures are being held in companies and universities. In particular, it is important to communicate interactively with the audience during the presentation. Currently, due to the influence of COVID-19, there are more and more opportunities for presentations in a hybrid with face-to-face and remote audiences. In a hybrid presentation, it is difficult to communicate with both audiences in the same way because there is a difference in awareness between face-to-face and remote audiences due to the influence of presence information. In this paper, we propose a method to support the awareness of remote audiences by sending vibration notifications to the presenter during the presentation in order to promote communication and support the improvement of presentation skills, and confirm the usefulness of the method.
