Abstract
We propose an articulation awareness system with a three-dimensional (3D) tongue using virtual reality (VR). Human speech sounds are made through a combination of vocal fold vibration (voice source) and tongue or lip motion (articulation). Articulation is the movement of the jaws, tongue, and lips. A speaker should pay attention to the importance of these movements. In this study, the tongue shape is visualized to raise awareness about the speech organ. The subjects observed inside and outside of the mouth as if they were the size of the thumb. Models of the oral area were created from magnetic resonance imaging data collected during vowel production. The subjects reported that they were aware of the articulators after experiencing the 3D tongue using a VR system.
