First Design of a Ubiquitous System for Affective Bonding and Support with Family and Friends

摘要

We consider the design of a ubiquitous system whose objective is to strengthen affective bonding and allow affective support, especially for distant relationships with the family and friends. It is based on wearable computers that evaluate emotions, transmit information to authorized persons, and enable interactions. Our most significant contribution is the provision of the design for a complete system usable in everyday life, based on emotional design and on multi-cultural feedback.
