A Survey on Mobile Affective Computing
It addresses the problem of impermeable emotions in AC for researchers and practitioners by leveraging mobile technology, but is incremental as a survey.
This survey reviews recent progress in Affective Computing (AC) using mobile devices, highlighting how smart wearables enable natural emotion studies in social contexts, and discusses current models, methodologies, and challenges.
This survey presents recent progress on Affective Computing (AC) using mobile devices. AC has been one of the most active research topics for decades. The primary limitation of traditional AC research refers to as impermeable emotions. This criticism is prominent when emotions are investigated outside social contexts. It is problematic because some emotions are directed at other people and arise from interactions with them. The development of smart mobile wearable devices (e.g., Apple Watch, Google Glass, iPhone, Fitbit) enables the wild and natural study for AC in the aspect of computer science. This survey emphasizes the AC study and system using smart wearable devices. Various models, methodologies and systems are discussed in order to examine the state of the art. Finally, we discuss remaining challenges and future works.
