HUMAN-MACHINE INTERACTION NETWORK ON EMOTION

Project description

Multimodal interfaces

Emotion-oriented computing is a broad research area involving many disciplines. The EU-funded network of excellence HUMAINE is currently making a co-ordinated effort to come to a shared understanding of the issues involved, and to propose exemplary research methods in the various areas.

HUMAINE aims to lay the foundations for European development of systems that can register, model and /or influence human emotional and emotion-related states - 'emotion-oriented systems'. Such systems may be central to future interfaces, but their conceptual underpinnings are not sufficiently advanced to be sure of their real potential or the best way to develop them. One of the reasons is that relevant knowledge is dispersed across many disciplines. HUMAINE brings together leading experts from the key disciplines in a program designed to achieve intellectual integration. It identifies 6 thematic areas that cut across traditional groupings and offer a framework for an appropriate division of labour - theory of emotion; signal/sign interfaces; the structure of emotionally coloured interactions; emotion in cognition and action; emotion in communication and persuasion; and usability of emotion-oriented systems. Teams linked to each area will run a workshop in it and carry out joint research to define an exemplar embodying guiding principles for future work in their area. Cutting across these are plenary sessions where teams from all areas report; activities to create necessary infrastructure (databases recognising cultural and gender diversity, an ethical framework, an electronic portal); and output to the wider community in the form of a handbook and recommendations of good practice (as precursors to formal standards).
