Aaective Wearables

A New Aaect-perceiving Interface and Its Application to Personalized Music Selection 1 Background and Motivation

A wearable computer that perceives and responds to the wearer's aaective state ooers a new kind of perceptual interface. Instead of asking the user to continuously select preferences from a menu, the aaective wearable gets to know its wearer's preferences by recognizing and responding to signals that carry emotional information. This paper presents a new design for an aaective wearable interfac...

Signal processing for recognition of human frustration

In this work, inspired by the application of human-machine interaction and the potential use that human-computer interfaces can make of knowledge regarding the aaective state of a user, we investigate the problem of sensing and recognizing typical aaective experiences that arise when people communicate with computers. In particular, we address the problem of detecting \frustration" in human com...

Affect-Driven CBR to Generate Expressive Music

We present an extension of an existing system, called SaxEx, capable of generating expressive musical performances based on Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) techniques. The previous version of SaxEx did not take into account the possibility of using aaective labels to guide the CBR task. This paper discusses the introduction of such aaective knowledge to improve the retrieval capabilities of the syst...

HealthAdvisor: Recommendation System for Wearable Technologies enabling Proactive Health Monitoring

Proactive monitoring of one’s health could avoid serious diseases as well as better maintain the individual’s well-being. In today’s IoT world, there has been numerous wearable technological devices to monitor/measure different health attributes. However, with that increasing number of attributes and wearables, it becomes unclear to the individual which ones they should be using. The aim of thi...
