Produktbeschreibung
During the past decade, a new field of
affective computing has emerged and developed into an
important research area. In his book "Affective
information in human-computer interaction", Dr. Timo
Partala explores the potential of utilizing affective
signals to enhance the quality of interaction with
computers. First, he gives an overview of potential
physiology-based computer input signals. Through
practical experiments, he also focuses on measuring
two sources of affective information: facial
expressions and the pupil of the eye. His results
suggest that emotions play an important role in
human-computer interaction. Pupil size variations and
facial expressions can give the computer information
about the user s affective responses, and they could
be potential input signals for human-computer
interaction in the future. This book is an important
read for scholars, practitioners, students, or anyone
interested in developing better human-computer
interactions.
