Affective Computing Software helps with the development, recognizing, and communication of human emotions. These software programs not just help to create human emotions in computers, but also help to understand and interpret them. These software help to give a human side to computers. Affective computing software is sometimes called emotion AI software or artificial emotional intelligence software. As the name suggests, these computer programs help bring an emotional side to computers. Any computer equipped with affective computing software can process and simulate empathy. Such computers can also detect human emotions and react accordingly. Unlike other supposedly emotional software that help detect the polarity of emotions, affective computing software can actually detect and understand the emotions being displayed. These software programs can detect every basic emotion, including anger, happiness, surprise, disgust, fear and sadness. Body gestures can also be identified and interpreted accordingly by affective computing software. The use of physiological traits like facial electromyography can also be used by affective computing software to discern emotions. Affective computing software can be applied in various areas such as gaming, workforce management, autonomous vehicles, chat bots, human factor engineering, e-learning and marketing.
