Abstract

An interactive system, PIXEE, was developed to promote greater emotional expression in image-based social media. An interdisciplinary team developed this system and has deployed it as a cultural probe around the world to explore ways that technology can foster emotional connectedness. In this system, images that participants share on social media are projected onto a large interactive display. A multimodal interface displays the sentiment analysis of image captions and invites viewers to adjust this classification in order to express their emotional response to the images. Viewers can adjust the emotional classification and thereby change the colors and sound associated with a picture, and compose musical scores by touching a series of images. CHI participants will be able to share their own content and their emotional reaction to other images throughout the conference. If CHI attendees share feedback about presentations through this system, an affective map of the conference may emerge.
