Consider the situation if you’re attending the online class, but it was a very boring one and you want to take some break and your mind either want to listen to some song or sleep, then the system before you will recognize your mood and start to play the music you liked. Which means your mind thoughts happen in real-time, the device will start to work according to your mind thought. Just imagine what will you do these things are happening in the above situation sorry how will you react? I think you’re all amused after hearing this situation and start to think how the system will understand our moods?
Wait our today’s article is truly based on this topic because we’re going to explore the mind-blowing concept of affective or emotional computing. Now you get somewhat idea about emotional computing but I have to explain the concept technologically. Emotional computing means the study of sensing the emotional state of the user via camera, sensors, and/or software and respond by performing specific, predefined service such as if you’re not interested in the playing video, then through your facial expression the system will understand it and change it according to your preferences.
There are more and more electronic devices are playing a vital role in our daily life. Through, emotional computing technology, it’s possible to make them operate depending upon the user’s emotional state. But how we can make that happen?
A computing device with this capacity will gather clues to user emotions from a variety of sources like facial expression, posture, gesture, speech, the force or rhythm of keystrokes, and the temperature changes of the hand on a mouse can all signify changes in the user’s emotional state and these can all be detected and interpreted by a computer.
Ok, what are the technologies used in this case, here I list down some of them but this list is an endless one.
- Human-computer interaction
- VR and AR
- Voice recognition technology
- Artificial Intelligence
- Etc.,
Apart from all the above, Machine learning is played a very important role. This one is very helpful while recognizing emotional information, through that extract the meaningful information and process it. All these processes are done using machine learning algorithms.
I think now you all know that what affective computing is and this will drastic changes in many more fields. Like education, health services, robotic systems, and social monitoring. Also, this owns make many changes in our daily life both physically and mentally.
Ok, now we are all at the conclusion part, but I know you all think that why don’t I provide any examples situation or technological experiment details about it. Because I want you to think it on your way and want you to explore the new mysterious island of emotional computing. So I conclude the article with thanks.
I’ll expect great questions from you. Thank You.
