ABSTRACT
This research investigates the effectiveness of speech audio and facial image deformation tools that make conversation participants appear more positive. By conducting an experiment, we revealed that participants' feelings became more positive when using the deformation tools, and this caused conversations to be more active. It was also found that voice deformation was equally effective compared to a combination of voice and facial image deformations. Moreover, participants were more likely to activate the tool as a listener and with a less positive feeling. Finally, we discuss how these findings can be applied to design a remote communication support system that helps to shift a conversation to a positive mood.

Experience of emotion in face to face and computer-mediated social interactions
The present study compared the experience of emotion in social interactions that take place face to face (FtF), co-presently, and those that take place online, in computer-mediated communications (CMC). For a period of ten days participants reported how ...
Do all facial emojis communicate emotion? The impact of facial emojis on perceived sender emotion and text processing
AbstractFacial emojis can express a variety of positive and negative emotions, and are commonly used in digital, written communication. However, little is known about how emojis impact text processing and how different emoji-text combinations ...
Highlights- We investigated how facial emojis impact text comprehension using behavioral ratings and EEG.
