Patent ID: 11677575

Abstract:
Adapting an audio-visual presentation includes assessing a degree of engagement for at least some of the participants by monitoring participant reactions and feedback to the audio-visual presentation, creating a histogram having a plurality of bins that each represent a number of participants exhibiting a particular degree of engagement, comparing histogram values to predetermined engagement goals for the audio-visual presentation, and modifying the audio-visual presentation in response to the feedback and to the histogram values indicating deviation from the predetermined engagement goals for the audio-visual presentation. Degrees of engagement may be positive/productive, angry/over-reacting, or indifferent. The feedback may include verbal and non-verbal cues of the participants. The non-verbal cues may include gaze direction and facial expressions that are captured by cameras of the participants and/or results of physiological monitoring of the participants. Physiological monitoring may monitor pulse rate, perspiration, facial color, and/or galvanic skin response.
