Current Challenges of Using Wearable Devices for Online Emotion Sensing (2208.05206v1)

Abstract: A growing number of wearable devices is becoming increasingly non-invasive, readily available, and versatile for measuring different physiological signals. This renders them ideal for inferring the emotional states of their users. Despite the success of wearable devices in recent emotion studies, there are still several challenges to be addressed. In this position paper, we compare currently available wearables that can be used for emotion-sensing and identify the challenges and opportunities for future researchers. Our investigation opens the discussion of what is missing for in-the-wild for emotion-sensing studies.
