Emotional access and interaction with videos

ABSTRACT

Our cognition, creativity and health are highly influenced by our emotions, playing an important role in our lives. Video has the power to generate emotions as no other medium can, and it is an excellent tool for displaying affective information too [1]. Technological developments and the trends for media convergence are turning video into a dominant and pervasive medium. We access video on the web, capture and transmit it with our mobile phones, and keep the ones we treasure the most. In the Emotional Video Album, users collect, access and interact with videos, based on videos' affective contents and properties, and their own emotional profiles, choices or current states.
