Affective Computing is a growing multidisciplinary field
encompassing computer science, engineering, psychology, education,
neuroscience, and many other disciplines. It explores how affective
factors influence interactions between humans and technology, how
affect sensing and affect generation techniques can inform our
understanding of human affect, and on the design, implementation,
and evaluation of systems that intricately involve affect at their
core. The Oxford Handbook of Affective Computing will help both new
and experienced researchers identify trends, concepts,
methodologies, and applications in this burgeouning field. The
volume features 41 chapters divided into five main sections:
history and theory, detection, generation, methodologies, and
applications. Section One begins with a look at the makings of AC
and a historical review of the science of emotion. Chapters discuss
the theoretical underpinnings of AC from an interdisciplinary
perspective involving the affective, cognitive, social, media, and
brain sciences. Section Two focuses on affect detection or affect
recognition, which is one of the most commonly investigated areas
in AC. Section Three examines aspects of affect generation
including the synthesis of emotion and its expression via facial
features, speech, postures and gestures. Cultural issues in affect
generation are also discussed. Section Four features chapters on
methodological issues in AC research, including data collection
techniques, multimodal affect databases, emotion representation
formats, crowdsourcing techniques, machine learning approaches,
affect elicitation techniques, useful AC tools, and ethical issues
in AC. Finally, Section Five highlights existing and future
applications of AC in domains such as formal and informal learning,
games, robotics, virtual reality, autism research, healthcare,
cyberpsychology, music, deception, reflective writing, and
cyberpsychology. With chapters authored by world leaders in each
area, The Oxford Handbook of Affective Computing is suitable for
use as a textbook in undergraduate or graduate courses in AC, and
will serve as a valuable resource for students, researchers, and
practitioners across the globe.
