Abstract
An approach towards Emotional Intelligence implemented in Computer Mediated environments that improves the communication between humans via computer-aided devices as well between humans and machines was developed. Our greatest efforts were paid to how to extract, transfer and express emotion. Disregarding the semantic components, we examined different modes of communication: audio, visual and motional. Our approach is based on physical parameters, human based emotion feature extraction and model based decision method. For each mode the emotion relevant parameters were defined, extracted and their number reduced. Emotion samples were "translated" and "coded" into meaningful feature parameters. The relation between the physical variables and the psychological attributes was examined, and then the emotional groups based on parametric models were defined. Application examples are presented and the future direction of the affective human centred computing is discussed.
