Abstract of the keynote "How can wearable agents convey emotions across modalities and devices?" by Jean-Claude Martin
Expressing emotion and displaying motivational messages are key to embodied conversational agents in areas related to training, coaching and companionship.
In my talk, I will rely on theories from psychology to explain how these agents should be able to reason about emotion, express them in (in)congruent combinations of modalities and devices including wearables. I will also describe studies about the interindividual differences (eg. how different users perceive these combinations of expressive signals displayed by these artificial agents).
