Emotion Simulation Technology | | |
 How do you simulate emotion?
At the heart of our system is a statistical model that represents the emotional tendencies
of a large sampling of people and how they interpret emotion terms.
We use a patent
pending technique to analyze any data source in terms of success in
achieving a goal, the ability to predictably control the data and the rate
of change, and run that data through a small expert system and the
statistical model.
The concepts of
this model were originally published in 1976, by one of the people who co-invented our technology, Dr. Albert
Mehrabian. His original PAD model has been for years, the "state of the art" in
emotion statistics. The current model used
in EMIR is vastly improved in terms of accuracy, and is targeted for broad
application.
When we analyze any system
using our technique, we can instantly derive
a corresponding emotion term for any system state.
Most people would agree that the emotion terms we derive are similar to what a human would feel, given
the same situation. In this manner, we can
create systems that seem to "care" about what they do.
See our demo of an "emotional" thermostat, if you have any doubts!
