Empathetic Art....

Just read about a new form of art that changes with the mood of the viewer...it takes a look at certain facial expressions- different points on your face and changes accordingly...as interesting as this is and as fun as it probably is to play with, it makes me wonder- who is a painting to tell you what your mood is and what if you don't want to see something that matches your mood? I mean, if you're pissed, wouldn't you get even more pissed if you had a painting sticking it's tongue out at you? 🙂 Hmmm....what do you think?

Yes!

I think it might make it harder to make programs that can interpret your exact mood and then have it reflect something back at you. Because individuals do ultimately show emotions differently.

I agree- it's too generic- no one shows emotions in the same way

That's why I don't believe in the paranoia that many people have regarding robots taking over the world. The robots will probably have their right place in the world but seriously not sure about more than that.

Human emotion is so complex that while technology could get close to replicating it, they could never completely capture the full range of an actual person.

Most definately..you can not get enough people together to produce ALL human emotions- the different levels are simply too complex to ever be captured....

Nope- not a clue 🙂 But it always catches my attention- I admire people who are able to come up with new ideas and see them to completion- so while I may not be technologically gifted I admire the process for what it is.

LOL!

Spendy yet entertaining 🙂

LMAO!!!
Grrrrr.....

*Bites mirror's tongue*

there was a sex study done- trying to figure out what turns people on...a number of people were showed a series of video clips while their brains were electronically mapped during the process.

during the violent secenes- some people showed activity in the center of the brain that controls sexual pleasure- while others were not activated in that part of the brain during violent scenes at all...similar DIFFERENT responses with different individuals during different scenes- chemically- the way our brains are wired...we all respond differently

I just thought of this after reading your posts...interesting stuff...

Though I wonder if we would be suprised at what we didn't know turns us on 🙂 Then again....it may be old news...

I would just hope nothing bad would happen

like- what it...what if you saw child porn and then looked at the brain scan and saw your brain all sexed up even if you were disgusted!!

o_O

Errrrr....yea- that would not be so good 😢

I'm scared...

kavindra (((o_O))) hold me...

uh oh

@_@

...uhh...don't look at my brain scan right now...

but seriously- I think as you said- it would most likely be old news

and even then- how accurate can the scans be?

I'm here schone!!!! Hey- too bad american keyboards don't have umlauts-does not do your name justice!!

Awww- poor DB- here- we'll cover your face 🙂

AAAAAaaHHHHHHH

OH- where?!?!

um- do you have a mac or an ibm kav?

it is done differently on a mac than an ibm - I know

and I only know how to do it on the mac

LOL!!! Hmmm- still a great name though 🙂

on the mac- you have to hold down the "alt/option key" and at the same time press "U" and then insert your letter while the space is highlighted

I think the ibms you have to hold down a few diff letters...I'm not sure- I forget

grrr- i suck and don't have a mac 😢 maybe i'll play around with it and find it- or, or I'll find it somewhere online.....hmmmm now i'm on a mission....well, maybe in a little bit....

okay...this is just a question...maybe you guys can help me...kavindra - I don't know if you have had this problem- you are a female...
