Affective multimodal human-computer interaction

Social and emotional intelligence are aspects of human intelligence that have been argued to be better predictors than IQ for measuring aspects of success in life, especially in social interactions, learning, and adapting to what is important. When it comes to machines, not all of them will need such skills. Yet to have machines like computers, broadcast systems, and cars, capable of adapting to their users and of anticipating their wishes, endowing them with the ability to recognize user’s affective states is necessary. This article discusses the components of human affect, how they might be integrated into computers, and how far are we from realizing affective multimodal human-computer interaction.
