Computer development can identify people's emotional state

Scientists Fraunhofer Computer Graphics Research Institute (IGD) in Germany have built a computer that can recognize the emotional state of users.

Mr. Christian Peter, IGD researcher, said that computers today can see and hear user voices thanks to audio and video analysis software, but for computers to recognize the user's feelings. , IGD had to solve a series of complex technological issues related to human emotional state such as heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, skin temperature, skin resistance .

German scientists have built gloves with sensors that measure all these parameters and also developed technologies that allow computers to identify facial changes and identify expressions. Show sentiment through the signals obtained from the voice. These facts are connected to a computer's storage and processing device. However, these devices only work effectively when they are trained by computer users.

IGD scientists hope that in the near future, this new technology can create digital robots that can hear, look and have appropriate expressions in response to the emotional state of users.

IGD also said it will exhibit its new product at the world's largest computer show (CEBIT 2006), which will be held in Germany's Hanover city from March 9-15.
