This study aims to develop an online dialogue system that enables simultaneous participation in multiple conversations based on the concept of participation frameworks. Specifically, the framework proposed by Goffman (1981) is represented using a graph structure, allowing participants to mutually express and communicate their attitudes by adjusting this graph. The system also incorporates a sound image localization mechanism, whose effectiveness in facilitating conversation listening under multi-dialogue participation scenarios was experimentally examined. The results did not indicate an improvement in information acquisition capabilities due to sound image localization. However, subjective evaluations demonstrated its effectiveness in increasing the clarity of speech perception.
