This research aims to study the effect of seat and/or backrest rotation on comfort and quality of conversation. Different sitting arrangements were tested to study the effect of the seat layout on: 1) (dis)comfort experience; 2) conversation quality and 3) postures. Two seats were arranged in different angles (0°, 45°, 90°, and 180°) at the same distance (1 m) and participants were asked to talk to each other. The participants' postures were acquired by using cameras and markers on the participants' body. Questionnaires were used to rate the perceived (dis)comfort and quality of conversation. Results show that 90° configuration scored the best both in overall comfort and quality of conversation; while the 0° configuration scored the lowest in both ratings. A strong correlation was established between high comfort and good quality of conversation.
本研究旨在探讨座椅和/或靠背旋转对舒适度和会话质量的影响。通过测试不同的坐姿安排，研究座椅布局对以下方面的影响：1）舒适度体验；2）会话质量；3）姿势。两个座椅以不同的角度（0°、45°、90°和 180°）布置在相同的距离（1 米）处，并要求参与者互相交谈。参与者的姿势通过在参与者身体上使用摄像头和标记来获取。问卷调查用于评估感知舒适度和会话质量。结果表明，90°配置在整体舒适度和会话质量方面得分最高；而 0°配置在这两个评分中得分最低。舒适度高与会话质量好之间存在很强的相关性。
