Abstract

A technique for modifying a user experience associated with a software product is described. During this modification technique, behavioral metrics that are associated with a user's emotional state are collected while the user is using the software product. For example, the behavioral metrics may include: usage patterns, user gestures and/or user tactile inputs. Furthermore, using the collected behavioral metrics, the user's emotional state is determined. Then, the user experience is modified based on the determined emotional state.
