Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of affective computing technologies is revolutionizing the interaction between humans and machines, driving advancements across various domains. This Special Issue aims to present cutting-edge research and experimental results in the field of affective computing, highlighting its technological advancements and practical implementations.
Areas relevant to affective computing include, but are not limited to, emotion recognition algorithms, affective user interfaces, sentiment analysis, affective robotics, and the impact of emotional data on decision-making processes. Research on multimodal emotion detection, the integration of affective computing in virtual and augmented reality, and the application of these technologies in healthcare, education, entertainment, and customer service is highly encouraged. Additionally, the ethical considerations and societal implications of affective computing will be addressed.
This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original research papers in the following overlapping fields:
- Affective computing technologies;
- Emotion recognition and sentiment analysis;
- Affective user interfaces and interaction;
- Multimodal emotion detection;
- Affective robotics;
- Applications of affective computing in healthcare, education, entertainment, and customer service;
- Ethical considerations and societal impact of affective computing.
