文摘Computer scientists and psychologists are collaborating to work out an intelligent computer system that is able to perceive human’s emotions. The affective computing is a newly developed technology that allows computers to receive human’s emotional signals, interpret their emotional states by analyzing their biological signals and affect human’s emotions through various ways. This paper mainly discusses current achievements on Affective Computing, including several well- known methods to detect facial expressions,three different emotional models that are widely accepted in affective computing, three recent inventions based on affective computing in which affective wearable computers are emphasized, main obstacles during the development of affective computing and different ideas from scientists about affective computing.
