HCI researchers recognize affect and emotion as fundamental parts of human experience. However, conceptualizing emotions as ineffable, embodied, situated, or culturally bound does not fit within the dominant paradigm of Affective computing. An alternative term, Affective Interaction, has emerged to bring together a growing body of research which treats emotion and affect within HCI in similar ways.
This workshop contrasts perspectives from Affective Interaction versus Affective Computing and brings the research community together to discuss opportunities and limitations associated with each perspective and to speculate on future research directions. We believe that bringing together HCI researchers around Affective Interaction is vitally important because the broad reach of Affective Computing techniques may be obscuring advances in emotion research that show evidence that emotion defies easy categories and is culturally situated.
