Affective Computing
Affective Computing is all about computers being able to recognize and understand human emotion. I stumbled across the field of Affective Computing during my first year at MIT when I secured a UROP with the Affective Computing group at the MIT Media Lab. The field was reintroduced to me my third year while taking 6.835. Since then I've thought about how I could bring emotional intelligence into all of my projects.
