The Augmented Emotion Recognition App

aër is a lifestyle application that can recognise emotions using bio sensors on a wrist worn wearable and smartphone to determine the physiological state of an individual accurately and passively. It uses this data, in the context of physical activity, situations, proximity to people, voice analysis, GPS positioning and digital activities to create a real time mirror of one’s inner emotional self.

A variety of data that your body gives off can accurately be used determine metrics of emotionality.

EDA Sensor / Galvanic measures: Changes in certain electrical properties of the skin
PPG sensor: Measures Blood Volume Pulse (BVP), heart rate variability
Infrared Thermopile: Reads peripheral skin temperature
and, accelerometers / activity tracking etc.
