“…To analyze the log files, we extracted the self-ratings and the physiological data 2 which go with them and found out: (1) The self-ratings for playing are concentrated in q1 (positive, arousing); (2) The self-ratings for writing are concentrated in the middle of the coordinate system (neutral emotional and physical arousal); and (3) Physiological data 3 show a medial value of heart rate and stress level during playing and high values during writing [5]. Indeed the felt arousal in interaction with a computer game found no expression in these.…”

Abstract. Current findings suggest that human-computer interaction following the basics of human-human interaction, in which emotions play a critical role. We performed a set of consecutive experiments in a laboratory environment for identification, recognition, visualization and interactive computing of affective states within a gaming application framework. To start our research and to get a data base we analyzed more than 90 test hours of user tests using rating-scales and physiological measurements. As results we provide (1) a mini-game with extra features for the induction and obtaining of affective states, (2) integrated data mining methods with recognition rates up to 70 percent, (3) different kind of visual representation of recognized emotions, and (4) an architecture for control of an affective game.
