Context-aware multimodal sharing of emotions

Abstract

Computer mediated interaction often lacks of expressivity, in particular for emotion communication. Therefore, we present a concept for context-aware multimodal sharing of emotions for human-to-computer-to-human interaction in social networks. The multimodal inputs and outputs of this system are distributed in a smart environment in order to grant a more immersive and natural interaction experience. The context information is used to improve the opportuneness and the quality of feedback. We implemented an evaluation scenario and we conducted an observation study during some events with the participants. We reported our considerations at the end of this paper. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
