Emotion Lab ‘16: Emotion Hack Your Tech

Emotions are critical to human behavior but are mostly missing from the digital world.  What if devices, apps and technology could sense human emotions and adapt to them?

Join Affectiva for an exciting weekend-long hackathon during which participants will create emotion-aware technology.  You will get to use Affectiva’s emotion-sensing SDKs for iOS, Android and Windows.  We’ll provide a selection of interesting devices, and together we will design the future of emotion technology.

Selection of devices that we will provide include (but are not limited to):

• BB-8 Robot by Sphero

• Nest thermostat

• Philips Hue programmable light bulbs

• Flora Boards

• Raspberry Pi

• Arduino boards and shields

What to Bring:

• Laptop

• Mobile devices

• Most importantly your ideas!

What you Get:

• Food and drinks

• IoT Devices to try

• A help desk to support getting your ideas off the ground

• Use of Affectiva’s emotion-recognition SDK

• A hackpad to write about your project
