Affective Computing

Affective Computing is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the development of systems and devices that can recognize, interpret, and respond to human emotions. It integrates insights from computer science, psychology, and cognitive science to create technology that can detect emotional states through various inputs, such as facial expressions, voice tone, physiological signals, and textual sentiment.The goal of affective computing is to improve human-computer interaction by making machines more responsive and empathetic to human emotional cues. This can enhance user experiences in applications ranging from virtual assistants and customer service robots to mental health monitoring and therapeutic tools. By understanding and simulating emotional intelligence, affective computing aims to create more intuitive and user-friendly technology that can engage users on an emotional level, thereby improving communication and overall interactions between humans and machines.
