Tuesday's final lectures of the term were about affective computing - "Affective computing is computing that relates to, arises from, or deliberately influences emotion or other affective phenomena". MIT Media Lab's Affective Computing Group have many interesting projects, such as the Huggable robot and Cyberflora. The Affective Diary was also mentioned, which "aims at letting users relive both the physical parts of their experiences as well as the cognitive parts." Readers of this LiveJournal are sure to want to relive my physical experiences and emotions in future.
