Things To Know About Emotion Detection Technology

By James Williams


The field of computer technology has another new sector that is being tagged as the next generation in advancing user interface and experience. These last are called UI and UX in the information technology field, things that have been fueling all kinds of advanced programming. These are for all kinds of concerns in business, research, marketing and industries.

In marketing and related concerns, constant research and study have generated much empirical data on detecting and conforming to user emotions or UE. Emotion detection technology is now at the midlevels of application and practice. There are already existing programs and systems for this, but there are some things that still need fleshing out.

Online marketing, new media concerns and even the use of smartphones have great possibilities in terms of usage for this new interface. If it becomes workable, marketing will have another stratospheric boost. Where emotions are the best factors for marketing, the systems will be able to intensively access consumers, all except those with brain damage.

Emotion is tagged as the only relevant driver for items like consumer buying patterns. Whatever is said about practicality and quality, the primary appeal for a product is directly connected to how people feel about it. The consideration here is to first create a perfected product then market it with excellent appeal and emotive power.

The most advanced tech in the field includes software which detects emotional responses, including facial expression. The interface is still lacking here, but this holds much promise, and a lot of companies are now searching for this new thing that can be useful for UE. Virtual reality already has motion sensors to operate games, programs and interactive tech.

Another tech thing uses skin detectors that look for galvanic response, and even medical technology provides monitors for heart rates or blood pressure that can be UE compatible. The base programs at work online today all use systems for tracking emotions, a way to put up accurate data about the way a customer feels or what she wants. The tech keeps on improving daily in this area.

However, these involve Q and A systems that are more like interviews, although the widgets try to minimize this quality for more intensive responses. Emotion detection is not a new technology in this sense. Also, machine learning, signal processing and computer vision are now truly filling out the blank spaces for a more workable system.

A simple thing like data mining can quickly come up with any user emotional profile, as long as it is found in open source internet. This is not invasion of privacy, as some critics view it, but a way for companies to access consumers on a very wide scale. Patterns within this profile enable computer programs to track emotional behavior to near accurate levels.

The UE that works is something that detects all the emotional reactions of humans available through sensors. The completed data is then applied on responsive programs that are very accurate and able to make transactions that much quicker for consumers. Projected beginning year sales for the industry is tagged at more than 20 billion.
