Description
Emotion is a fundamental component of being human. Joy, hate, anger , and pride, among the plethora of other emotions, motivate action and add meaning and richness to virtually all human experience. Traditionally, human-computer interaction (HCI) has been viewed as the “ultimate” exception; users must discard their emotional selves to work efficiently and rationally with computers, the quintessentially unemotional artifact. Emotion seemed at best marginally relevant to HCI and at worst oxymoronic.
Recent research in psychology and technology suggests a different view of the relationship between humans, computers, and emotion. After a ling period of dormancy and confusion, there has been an explosion of research on the psychology of emotion. Emotion is no longer seen as limited to the occasional outburst of fury when the computer crashes inexplicably, excitement when a video game character leaps an obstacle, or frustration at an incomprehensible error message . It is now understood that a wide range of emotions plays a critical role in every computer-related, goal-directed activity, from developing a #d CAD model and running calculations on a spreadsheet, to searching the Web and sending an e-mail, to making an online purchase and playing Solitaire. Indeed, many psychologists argue that it is impossible for a person to have a thought or perform an action without engaging, at least unconsciously, his or her emotional systems.
The goal of this work is present discoveries and concepts that are relevant to the design and assessment of interactive systems. We want to understand terms like affective computing and emotional AI, as well as the basic tools needed to create emotion-conscious and consciously emotional interface designs.
