What is affective computing?
Affective Computing is the study and development of systems and devices that can recognize, interpret, process, and simulate human affects—that is, emotions. My goal is to build machines that are not just intelligent in terms of task completion, but also emotionally intelligent. This involves understanding the complex interplay of physiological signals, behavioral cues, and contextual information that underpin human emotional expression and experience.
