Detecting emotional [[information]] begins with passive [[sensor]]s which capture data about the user's physical state or [[behavior]] without interpreting the input. The data gathered is analogous to the cues humans use to perceive emotions in others. Another area within affective computing is the design of computational devices proposed to exhibit either innate emotional capabilities or that are capable of convincingly simulating emotions. Emotional speech processing recognizes the user's emotional state by analyzing speech patterns. The detection and processing of facial expression or [[body]] gestures is achieved through detectors and sensors. | Detecting emotional [[information]] begins with passive [[sensor]]s which capture data about the user's physical state or [[behavior]] without interpreting the input.
