Affective computing Rosalind W. Picard
Publisher: The MIT Press

A growing number of affective computing researches recently developed a computer system that can recognize an emotional state of the human user to establish affective human-computer interactions. Affective computing: the mood thermometer in the lecture hall. ACIE 2013 : 1st International Workshop on Applications of Affective Computing in Intelligent Environments. 'Affect' refers to the way we sense and display emotions. Affective computing (AC) is concerned with emotional interactions performed with and through computers. Anyone who can remember what it was like to have a computer before the iMac will know, emotion can have a huge impact on computers. If emotional reactions were measured, they could be valuable data points for better design and development. Affective Computing and Affective Interaction: Emotion in Technology. Emotional artificial intelligence, also called affective computing, may be on its way. Here's the anecdote that was most telling about the wrong track taken by Affective Computing, the book by MIT's Rosalind Picard about the digitizing of emotion. Affective computing is the study and development of systems and devices that can recognize, interpret, process, and simulate human affects (Wikipedia). And computers are about to understand this better than some people.
