Computer know your emotion!!
Wouldn’t it be great if your computer could recognize when you are frustrated with it and adjust itself to calm you down? Emotion-sensing technology could someday allow a computer to do just that.
The German Fraunhofer Institute is working on a system that uses sight, sound and touch technology to collect data about a person’s emotional. The system will interprets the information and reacts accordingly. When the computer think you are angry, the it will changes the color of the screen, turns down your music, enlarge and reduce graphics or just apologizes to you. (i will get mad more if it turn down my music or close the browser or my work)
Their latest prototype is Wireless Electronic Glove that measures heart rate, blood pressure and skin temperature. For example, it a person’s heart rate increases quickly and their skin temperature falls below a certain threshold, it may indicate that they are angry.
They are also working on technology that will read facial features using an ordinary webcam. The goal is to collect all of the emotion-indicating information in one database, analyze it in real time program the computer to respond immediately.
