Visual Simplified Characters' Emotion Emulator Implementing OCC Model
This provides a tool for observing emotional dynamics in narratives, but it is incremental as it applies an existing model to new visual contexts.
The paper tackled the problem of visualizing characters' emotions in stories by developing a visual emulator based on the OCC model, which was tested on stories like Othello, Twilight, and Harry Potter and behaved sensibly in keeping with the emotional atmospheres.
In this paper, we present a visual emulator of the emotions seen in characters in stories. This system is based on a simplified view of the cognitive structure of emotions proposed by Ortony, Clore and Collins (OCC Model). The goal of this paper is to provide a visual platform that allows us to observe changes in the characters' different emotions, and the intricate interrelationships between: 1) each character's emotions, 2) their affective relationships and actions, 3) The events that take place in the development of a plot, and 4) the objects of desire that make up the emotional map of any story. This tool was tested on stories with a contrasting variety of emotional and affective environments: Othello, Twilight, and Harry Potter, behaving sensibly and in keeping with the atmosphere in which the characters were immersed.
