AffectAura: Emotional wellbeing reflection system

摘要

Emotional health is of huge importance to our quality of life. However, monitoring emotional wellbeing is challenging. AffectAura is an emotional prosthetic that allows users to reflect on their emotional states over long periods of time. The system continuously predicts user's valence, arousal and engagement based on information gathered from a multimodal sensor setup. The interface combines these predictions with rich contextual information and allows the user to explore the data. AffectAura has been validated on 100's of hours of data recorded from multiple people who found the system allowed them to reason forward and backward in time about their emotional experiences. This project illustrates the first longitudinally evaluated emotional memory system.
