Designing for Conversational Flow

Accessibility in workspace layouts is frequently categorized as a translation accommodation. However, conversation design is a multimodal process that integrates multiple channels of dialogue.

Speech, hand movement, signs, posture, and facial feedback are all crucial components of natural dialogue. When standard captioning systems only focus on transcribing audio streams, they overlook the spatial and visual markers that convey who is speaking, who wants to speak, and when conversational floor shifts happen.

GoVoBo unifies speech recognition with movement tracking. By mapping hand signs and floor-seeking gestures alongside acoustic signals, we turn accessibility into a native, participation-aware feature rather than a tacked-on afterthought.
