Summary

We are testing a 2D system designed to help people with Parkinson's disease practice their speech. In this study, participants will speak with a virtual character, called an embodied conversational agent, using a laptop. Our goal is to see if this technology is helpful and easy to use for people with Parkinson's disease to use. This research will help us learn whether using virtual characters at home could support long-term speech improvements.
