EmoSPARK is an artificial intelligence console created in London, UK by Patrick Levy-Rosenthal. The device uses facial recognition and language analysis to assess human emotion and convey emotionally sensitive content. The console measures 90 mm x 90 mm x 90 mm and is cube-shaped. It operates in an "emotional processing unit," a microchip developed by Emoshape Inc. that allows the system to create emotionally profiled graphs of its environment. The emotional processing unit is a patent pending technology that is said to create emotional responses synthesized in machines. EmoSPARK was funded through an IndieGogo campaign that aimed to raise $ 200,000.
EmoSPARK was created by the French inventor Patrick Levy-Rosenthal as an emotionally intelligent artificial living unit for the home that can interact with people. It is powered by Android and can communicate with users through the input entered from a computer, tablet, smart phone or TV, as well as through spoken commands.
The characteristics of EmoSpark are classified into two types: functional and emotional. It is said that EchoSPARK has the ability to perform tasks based on practical software. Through the smartphone interface, it is able to measure a person's emotions and is reported to have a conversation library of over 2 million phrases. Face tracking technology identifies users who like it and do not like to classify their emotional responses to stimuli such as videos and music. The device has an emotional spectrum consisting of eight emotions that are surprise, sadness, joy, confidence, fear, disgust, anger and anticipation.
