Towards an Anthropomorphic Lamp for Affective Interaction

Published: 15 January 2015 Publication History

Abstract

This paper presents the concept of a lamp that allows displaying and collecting user's emotional states. In particular, it displays the emotional information changing colors and facial expressions; in fact, the lamp is characterized by anthropomorphic form and behavior in order to make the interaction more natural and spontaneous. The user can interact with the lamp through tangible gestures typically used in social interactions by humans. Two different scenarios involving the use of the lamp as a companion and for computer-mediated communication are presented.
