Description


The domain of Affective Computing, a term coined by Rosalind Picard in 1997, gathers together several scientific areas such as computer science, cognitive science, psychology, design and art. Human-machine interaction systems are no longer solely fast and efficient. They aim to offer to users affective experiences: the user’s affective state is detected and considered within the interaction; the system displays the affective state; it can reason about their involvement in achieving a task or resolving a problem. In this book, we have chosen to cover various domains of research in emotion-oriented systems. Our aim is also to highlight the importance of basing the computational model on theoretical foundations and on natural data.

This book brings together chapters dealing with theoretical models, corpora and annotation, as well as computational models of analysis and synthesis. It also provides chapters on design, interactive narration as well as the main applications. The authors have chosen to cover various domains of research (psychology, computer science, art, music) to give an overview of the field.
