Abstract

This paper presents results of a master thesis at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Rostock (IGD-R) at the department for Human-Centered Interaction. Using an emotion recognition sensor system, an e-learning system was enhanced with affective abilities. By taking certain actions, the user is supported to handle negative emotions, which should enable a better learning as well as a greater satisfaction. The affective communication and actions are encapsulated by an Affective Component, which was implemented as a prototype and evaluated at a first glance.
