The interaction between user and machine can be closer to what is known. Just a little observation is enough to realize that an angry person manipulates the mouse your computer differently than it does when it is relaxed, but now there is software that is able to perceive anger the user through the use of the mouse.
When someone experiences anger (and emotions such as frustration, confusion and sadness), precision in their movements with the mouse changes , it becomes clumsy and imprecise. If a user is upset or confused, the mouse stops follow a straight or slightly curved path. On the contrary, sudden movements become irregular. Also, someone who exhibits negative emotions mouse moves more slowly. The patterns are quite clear and typical, although users did not realize it.
With these observations and with the advances of modern technology, now the team of Professor Jeffrey Jenkins, Brigham Young University (BYU) in the United States, can collect and process enough data on the movement of your cursor to measure these deviations and indicate our emotional state. In other words, can you tell us if we are angry at the way that we move a computer mouse.
The potential applications of this new recognition technology can be many. One, for instance, might be back “smart” to the sites , enabling them to notice if the visitor is getting impatient or frustrated because it finds information or because a site is poor.
From here, the developers of websites can identify sources of irritation or frustration in their pages, and have the opportunity to solve the problem. Currently it is very difficult to determine when a user finishes frustrated to the point of never using a site, and be able to notice the negative emotional response of a visitor, as allowed by new technology, facilitate the search for more effective solutions.
The concept can also be applied to mobile devices, but this other line of development is still in its initial phase
