Abstract: A simple backchannel and turn-taking system was added to a storytelling agent.This project improved upon a typical typed-input interface by incorporating ideas from discourse theory.It sought to create meaningful backchannel and turn-taking behavior while working within the problematical limitations of the usual computer interface consisting of a monitor and keyboard.The storytelling agent gained a responsive and engaging set of behavior, altering the paradigm and feel of a typing interface.
