Résumé
We present a novel head-mounted device for measuring face-to-face behavior. The device has unique capabilities: measuring timing and duration of face-to-face behavior as well as an identity of the partner, being used by multiparty, and automatically logging the behavior by connecting with Android device. We employ infrared communication technique for measuring the behavior. A pilot experiment with two dummy heads shows that the developed devices can detect the face-to-face behavior with a certain angle. We also conducted an experiment with human participants. The events recorded by the developed device show moderate agreement with those coded from video by human observers.
