Executive Presence Training via Real-Time Body Pose Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for training executive presence during speeches, such as eye contact training, are insufficient as they do not adequately address the broader behavioral aspects necessary for effective communication with virtual audiences.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method using an electronic user device with a camera and display to capture images, analyze body pose and speech, and provide real-time feedback through user interface objects indicating necessary body movements to achieve executive presence, combining visual and audio cues to guide the user in correcting unsatisfactory behavior.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If only eye contact analysis is used to train executive presence, then the system complexity is low, but the training effectiveness is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments executive presence training into multiple independent analysis components: eye contact analysis, body pose analysis, and speech analysis. Each component processes specific behavioral aspects separately and provides targeted feedback, allowing comprehensive training without excessive system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device performs multiple functions simultaneously - it acts as a camera for capturing images, a processor for analyzing body pose and speech, and a display device for providing feedback. This multi-functionality enables comprehensive executive presence training within a single integrated system.
2Reliability
If real-time feedback on body pose is provided continuously, then the training effectiveness improves, but the user distraction increases
Solution Approach 1:
The feedback is provided locally and specifically - only when and where the user needs it. The feedback indicator is displayed in the corner of the screen rather than blocking the main view, and only appears when body pose deviations are detected, minimizing distraction while maintaining training effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback periodically based on detected deviations rather than continuously. The feedback indicator appears only when the user's body pose deviates from the desired position, creating a periodic feedback rhythm that maintains awareness without constant distraction.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to the area of training executive presence. According to a first aspect, the disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for training executive presence of a user when delivering a speech to a virtual audience though the electronic user device. The method includes, upon a determined current body pose failing to meet criteria defining executive presence based on body pose and whether the user is currently speaking, providing a user interface object indicative of a direction of a body movement that would result in a body pose that meets the criteria defining executive presence. The disclosure also relates to an electronic user device and to a computer program configured to perform the method.
