Abstract: Provided is a voice interaction device capable of reducing a sense of unfriendliness given to a conversation partner. The voice interaction device is incorporated in an interactive robot. The voice interaction device includes a display unit disposed at positions of eyes of the interactive robot and configured to display the eyes of the interactive robot; a distance measurement unit configured to measure a distance between the interactive robot and the conversation partner; and an eye control unit configured to set a size of each of pupils of the interactive robot displayed on the display unit when the distance measured by the distance measurement unit is less than a predetermined distance to be larger than a size of each of the pupils displayed on the display unit when the measured distance is equal to or more than the predetermined distance.

Abstract: Provided is a voice interaction device capable of turning lines of sight of eyes of an interactive robot to a conversation partner without inhibiting voice interaction. The voice interaction device is incorporated in the interactive robot. The voice interaction device includes a photographing unit configured to photograph an image; an environment recognition unit configured to recognize a position of a conversation partner captured in the image; a display unit disposed at positions of the eyes of the interactive robot and configured to display the eyes of the interactive robot; and an eye control unit configured to turn the lines of sight of the eyes of the interactive robot displayed on the display unit to a position where the conversation partner is recognized.

Abstract: A communication device includes a display provided in a face portion; an environment information acquisition unit that acquires environment information being information about an environment around the communication device; a gaze motion generation unit that generates a gaze motion of the communication device to be expressed in the face portion, the gaze motion corresponding to the environment information acquired by the environment information acquisition unit; a feeling generation unit that generates, according to a predetermined generation rule, a feeling of the communication device to be expressed in the face portion; and an integration unit that displays on the display an image of an eye expressing the gaze motion generated by the gaze motion generation unit and the feeling generated by the feeling generation unit.
