Development of an emotional chat system using sense of touch and face mark

Abstract

One of the problems of an electronic conference is difficulty to keep tension of participants. This problem arises from the lack of information about each other's feeling. So we try to exchange information about "five senses information" in electronic conference system. We implement the function to input face mark using sense of touch in remote seminar support system. In this paper, we applied this system to the actual seminar, analyzed the result of experiment, and considered subjects for a further study. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
