Chief strategy and science officer, Affectiva "Our devices will have an emotion chip, much like a GPS location chip. It will use optical sensors, and perhaps other sensors, to read your emotions - your facial expressions, tone of voice, your physiology. This chip will also drive actions in response to your emotions. My mirror could sense I am stressed, and communicate this to my social robot, car and wearable phone-watch-health device, so that these adjust the way they interact with me. In this mood-aware internet of things, the emotion chip - always activated with our permission - will make our technology interactions more genuine and human."
