Team Sweet Talk explored the use of voice interaction in virtual reality to foster believable, effective and natural interactions with a character. We created a game that involves teaching and working with a cooking robot, Babs, allowing guests to create a common language with her and to use that language to work together while creatively exploring the process and boundaries of teaching. We spent the semester exploring multiple voice platforms including Amazon Echo and Google Home, but Babs is powered by a unique blend of Windows Dictation, API.ai, IBM Watson, and Unity.
