This panel addresses 'science fact' for future social-emotional interfaces. We discuss new theory and upcoming interface technologies that enable or augment social-emotional interaction between people and computers, and between people via new forms of computers. The theme is rooted in: (1) findings that human-computer interaction is social and emotional even when interfaces are not designed with such interaction as a goal, and (2) advances in technology, enabling computers to recognize, express, and respond to emotional and social information. The panelists will describe the guiding theory for this research, show examples of emerging technologies including new wearable, implantable, and robotic interfaces, and discuss the implications of social-emotional interaction for interface development, design, and testing.
