MEASURING AFFECTIVE DATA FOR WEB-ENABLED APPLICATIONS

摘要

Mental state information is collected as a person interacts with a rendering such as a website or video. The mental state information is collected through video capture or capture of sensor information. The sensor information can be of electrodermal activity, accelerometer readings, skin temperature, or other characteristics. The mental state information is uploaded to a server and aggregated with other people's information so that collective mental states are associated with the rendering. The aggregated mental state information is displayed through a visual representation such as an avatar.
