Affective Interaction

Affective interaction refers to the way people and technology or systems respond to and recognize emotions during their interactions. It involves technologies like emotional recognition software or conversational agents that can interpret feelings through facial expressions, tone of voice, or gestures. This understanding allows systems to adapt their responses to better suit the user's emotional state, creating more natural, empathetic, and effective communication. In essence, affective interaction aims to make digital experiences more human-like by considering and responding to our emotional cues.
