Computers That Feel our Mood

Roland Piquepaille writes "It certainly happened to you to be so frustrated by the 'reactions' of your computer that you wanted to break it. And the computer industry has noticed, trying to build hardware and software as user-friendly as possible. Still, it would be a good idea for your computer to guess when you're about to become mad at it. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany are working on computers that estimate our emotions. Their solution involves cameras and image analysis, but also special gloves equipped with sensors to record your heartbeat and breathing rate, your blood pressure or your skin temperature. And even if it's difficult to train a computer to interpret emotions, they have enough confidence in their system to demonstrate it at the next CeBIT in March 2006."

Re:People largely get mad due to fixable things.

YOU HAVENT GOT THE TIME!?!

what a dumbfuck.

If you have time to complain like a wanker about the problem in an epic post here, then you have time to learn the software and help with open source documentation to fix the problems for everyone.

But of course the high and mighty Caspian is too good for that. Only he should benefit from such work carried out by others.

If you don't like your shit shoved back into your face, don't toss it around on others here over a simple spelling mistake.

wow what a dumbfuck.
