eMoto Affectively Involving both Body and Mind

• Presented by Shweta Malu.

Introduction

• Research in psychology and neurology shows that
  both body and mind are involved when experiencing
  emotions.
• Emotions influence somatic signals, hormones,
  heart rate, and body movements.

Introduction continued

• So there is a need to design for a affective
  involvement.
• The main approach is to be user centric instead
  of inferring information of the users affective
  state.
• Users should be allowed to express their own
  emotions rather than having their emotions
  interpreted by the system.

Affective loop.

• What is affective loop?
• -Input to the system.
• -Feedback from the system.
• To achieve the purpose of affective loop e-moto
  was designed.

E-moto

• Emoto is built in personal java and runs on P800
  andP900 mobile phones two of Sony Ericsonn
  phones.
• Touch sensitive screen and a stylus pen.

Working of E-Moto

• The users first types her text message.
• To add the expression the users will navigate in
  the background of colors, shapes and animations
  through the use of effective gestures.

Working continued.

• The gestures are picked up with an accelerometer
  and a pressure sensor that we have added to the
  stylus pen.
• Positive and negative gestures.
• In e-Moto the gestures are therefore not
  specified in detail. Instead the system captures
  the underlying dimensions of emotional gestures
  in terms of movement and pressure.

Affective expressions.

• Colors shapes and animations combine to form
  affective gestures.
• The study involved in this made users to perform
  gestures holding the modified stylus.

Evaluation

• If the users takes time to add the affective
  expressions there is quite a possibility that we
  may loose expression.
• Also if the gesture is too fast for the emotions
  like sadness then it would be difficult to
  predict the actual state of mind
• Timing need to be worked on to capture the
  different emotional experience.
• The model work on the assumption users are
  comfortable expressing there emotions. Some users
  may not be comfortable using the body language.
