About the Webinar

A generation that grew up with games that read behavioral cues and provide haptic feedback
is ready for more advanced interfaces - can you deliver what they want?

We are a long way from systems that “understand” people, but technologies to “recognize” emotions from word usage, voice characteristics, facial expressions, and gestures are here today and improving rapidly. Not far behind are technologies that allow systems to respond expressively with more appropriate tone and content - written and vocal - and relevant facial expressions on avatars and robots driven by brain-inspired models (not to be confused with neural networks).

This webinar will present an overview of emerging technologies and applications for the next generation of Perceptive Input and Expressive Output interfaces. Participants will learn about the state of the art today, and how to identify apps in their own environment that would be good candidates for enhanced interfaces.
