Abstract:
1. A method for simulating a cross cultural communication dynamic between a first, second, third, and fourth participant associated with a first, second, third, and fourth input device and output device, respectively, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth participants are fluent in a common language, the method comprising: receiving a first text input in the common language from the first participant from the first input device; generating a first output by replacing select words of the first text input with a communication system; substantially simultaneously transmitting the first text input to the second output device for presentation to the second participant and transmitting the first output to the third output device for presentation to the third participant; receiving a second text input in the common language from the fourth participant in a first mode from the fourth input device; generating a second output by replacing all the words of the second text input with the communication system; substantially simultaneously transmitting the second output to the first and second output devices for presentation to the first and second participants, respectively, and transmitting the unaltered second text input to the third output device for presentation to the third participant; receiving, at a speed slower than second text input receipt, a third text input in the common language from the fourth participant in a second mode from the fourth input device; generating a third output by replacing select words of the third text input to a second degree with the communication system; transmitting the third output to the third output device for presentation to the third participant; generating a fourth output by replacing select words of the third text input to a third degree with the communication system; and transmitting the fourth output to the second output device for presentation to the second participant.
