Contactless Emotion Analysis: The Future of Human-Computer-Interaction

Imagine a world where machines, robots, and similar technologies can respond to our moods as if they were human conversation partners. By detecting and reacting to unconscious facial expressions and other emotional signals, we foster deeper and more effective interactions.

Contactless emotion recognition allows for unrestricted nonverbal communication, allowing gestures and body language to remain authentic. This leads to more genuine human-computer interactions. Our approach prioritizes the personal rights of all participants, establishing a foundation for acceptance and trust in the evolving landscape of human-machine-interactions .

SHORE® records both the basic emotions (happy, angry, sad, surprised, frightened, disgusted, neutral) and whether the predominant emotion is positive or negative (valence). In addition, SHORE® estimates age and gender. Robust results can be generated for both RGB and infrared cameras.

Contactless Vital Sign Monitoring as a Component of Emotion Recognition

A key indicator of our emotional state is our heart rate. Emotions like stress, anxiety, joy, excitement, anger, and frustration increase the heart rate by activating the sympathetic nervous system. In relaxed states, on the other hand, the heart rate decreases due to the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.

The contactless monitoring of vital signs, therefore, allows for a more precise classification of emotions. This method is more hygienic, less invasive, and more comfortable, as no physical sensors are required, providing complete freedom of movement.

Contactless monitoring of vital signs has the potential to bring about significant changes and improvements in various fields.

SHORE® records heart rate without contact, requiring only a standard webcam. In combination with emotion recognition, SHORE® can more effectively assess an individual's psychophysiological state.

Potential across various Application Areas

  • Early detection and prevention: Early identification of diseases through continuous monitoring and analysis of vital signs.
  • Telemedicine: Enhanced opportunities for remote monitoring and diagnoses, especially for chronic patients and the elderly.
  • Hospital management: More efficient patient monitoring without the need for constant physical presence of nursing staff.
  • Personalized training programs: Real-time adjustment of training plans based on captured vital signs.
  • Stress management: Real-time interventions and recommendations for stress relief and relaxation.
  • Safety: Detection of health issues or fatigue in workers in hazardous environments.
  • Improved human-machine interaction: Devices and systems can respond better to users' emotional and physical states.
  • Personalized experiences: Tailoring content and interactions to the user's current condition.
