ABSTRACT
Humans feel different emotions depending on the given situation. People express their feelings by talking to the other person with words, or conveying them through facial expressions and gestures. Emotions conveyed through this direct method greatly contribute to smooth communication with the other person and mental stability by expressing what they intend to. Not everyone, however, is good at expressing their feelings. They may not know how to express themselves at certain times, and may even find it difficult to know what their emotional state is right now. There are a number of different bio-metric sensors such as heartbeat and temperature that can help to know people’s bio-medical status even if they cannot tell others. Thus, we researched how to help people express their emotions, using both body movements and bio-metric readings to visualize their emotions through a tangible object and camera that takes in readings from the user and translates them into a visual representation of emotion.
