Abstract

Happiness research findings are increasingly being taken into account in standard economics. However, most findings are based on a posteriori surveys trying to infer how happy people have been. In this paper, we argue that the advances in wearable computing, especially brain-computer interfaces, can lead to realtime measurements of happiness. We then propose a new kind of economy model where people pay depending on the emotions they have experienced. We have combined current commercial-on-the-shelf software and hardware components to create a proof-of-concept of the model.

Emojis influence emotional communication, social attributions, and information processing
Abstract
Many emojis symbolize nonverbal cues that are used during face-to-face communication. Despite their popularity, few studies have examined how emojis influence digital interactions. The present study addresses this gap by measuring the ...
Highlights
- Emojis convey information about the sender's affect.
- Senders that use positive ...
Emotional clouds: Showing arousal and valence through the movement and darkness of digital cartoonish clouds

While nowadays the most usual way to show emotions in digital contexts is via virtual characters, its use may raise false expectations (the user attributes human abilities to the virtual character). This paper proposes and explores an approach to ...
Emotional responses to watching and touching 3d emotional face in a virtual environment
