BEIJING, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- A team at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea has developed a breakthrough technology that can recognize human emotions in real time, which is expected to revolutionize various industries and provide the next generation of wearable systems based on emotional services.

Understanding and accurately extracting emotional information has long been a challenge due to the abstract and ambiguous nature of emotions and feelings. To solve this problem, the research team developed a multimodal human emotion recognition system. The system combines verbal and non-verbal expressive data to make effective use of comprehensive emotional information.

At the heart of the system is a personalized** Integrated Facial Interface (PSIFI) system with a first-of-its-kind bidirectional friction strain and vibration sensor that senses and collects both verbal and non-verbal expression data, which can then be transmitted wirelessly to enable real-time emotion recognition.

The technology is based on the phenomenon of "tribocharging", in which objects separate into positive and negative charges when rubbed, and the system does not require an external power source or complex measuring equipment to identify the data.

The research team successfully integrated the detection of facial muscle deformation and vocal cord vibration, and collected multimodal data such as facial muscle deformation and sound through experiments. With minimal training, the system exhibits high accuracy. While also ensuring wearability and convenience. The system can also be applied to VR environments, such as "digital concierges", smart homes, private cinemas, and smart offices.

According to the researchers, the results show the potential to use emotion in next-generation wearable systems, which is one of the most complex forms of human expression. With this system, real-time emotion recognition can be achieved in just a few learning steps, without the need for complex measurement equipment. This opens up the possibility of future portable emotion recognition devices and next-generation emotion-based digital platform services.

As mentioned in the text, emotions are complex forms of human information. As the song goes, "Laugh and sing praises."As soon as I frowned, my heart hurt. Emotions can be expressed through facial expressions and voices, so this system that can detect facial muscle deformation and vocal cord vibration comes into being, becoming a "confidant" and a caring "person" who can perceive changes in our mood. People's pleasure and boredom can be recognized, and the system can take different countermeasures according to people's mood changes, give options that meet people's preferences, and provide ironing services. However, sometimes humans also disguise their mood, wondering if this kind of system can recognize "smiling flesh without smiling"?
