Abstract
Emotional state data is used to tailor the user experience of an interactive software system, by monitoring and obtaining data about a user's emotional state. The resulting emotional state data is analyzed and used to dynamically modify the user's experience by selecting user experience components based on the analysis of the user's emotional state data. In this way, different types of user experience components can be utilized to provide the user with an individualized user experience that is adapted to the user's emotional state. Different types of user experience components can be utilized to adjust the user experience to adapt to the user's new emotional state, prevent the user from entering an undesirable emotional state, and/or encourage the user to enter into a desirable emotional state.
