A survey of technologies on the rise for emotion-enhanced interaction

摘要

This paper is about software systems, not pharmaceuti-cals. It is a particularly well-documented and intelligently detailed summary of devices and techniques used to acquire emotion indication metrics, and psychology-derived models used for interpreting those metrics. Human emotions span personal experience, personal projection, and interpersonal perception; some aspects are captured by tracking eye dilation, direction, and movement; monitoring voice volume, pitch, and intonation; observing cardiovascular irregularity; and so on. Of course, projections and perceptions are culturally calibrated, and perhaps experiences are, too (leaving "therapeutic" mindfulness meditation, medication, or incarceration for inappropriately "calibrated" individuals)-a social reality marginally beyond the scope of this survey. Even stranger, various ancient professions esteem false emotion arts (as taught, practiced, and presented in theater, advertising, management, parenting, and private "liaisons")-another ineffable peculiarity that may motivate the funding of much of the reported research.
