The Proposal of Method to Support Metaverse Meeting By Detecting User’s Nods and Changing Avatar’s Transparency

Users can participate in the metaverse meeting with or without HMDs. However, it is difficult to convey the non-verbal information such as facial expressions and eye contact unlike face-to-face communication. This makes it difficult for the speakers to recognize whether the listeners are listening or not. In this research, we propose the system’s design that detects nods and change the transparency of the avatar according to the number of nods to visualize whether listeners are listening to the conversation.
