Talking Heads

Philip Rubin, Eric Vatikiotis-Bateson

This paper describes an interactive presentation that introduces the Talking Heads website, which was originally proposed at the AVSP'97 meeting in Rhodes, Greece. Talking Heads is an effort to bring together information from a wide range of sources. The site provides interactive access to multimodal material in both its original form and as summarized by us. In addition, the authors have provided historical information, supporting essays and tutorials, interviews, etc., that try to contextualize and make coherent this rapidly developing area. Both the website and the interactive presentation are described.
