Innovative Real-Time Communication System with Rich Emotional and Haptic Channels

  • Conference paper
Haptics: Generating and Perceiving Tangible Sensations (EuroHaptics 2010)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 6191))

Abstract

The paper focuses on a novel system iFeel_IM! that integrates 3D virtual world Second Life, intelligent component for automatic emotion recognition from text messages, and innovative affective haptic interfaces providing additional nonverbal communication channels through simulation of emotional feedback and social touch (physical co-presence). The core component, Affect Analysis Model, automatically recognizes nine emotions from text. The detected emotion is stimulated by innovative haptic devices integrated into iFeel_IM!. Users can not only exchange messages but also emotionally and physically feel the presence of the communication partner (e.g., family member, friend, or beloved person).
