Bridging the emotional gap between humans and technology
The Empathic Computing Laboratory (ECL) is an academic research collaboration between the University of South Australia and the University of Auckland and explores new ways for technology to enable people to better understand one another.
Empathic computing is a research field that develops computer systems that recognise and share emotions and help people better understand one another. Our team is working to make empathic computing mainstream and investigate both software and hardware components to enable this technology, along with researching the usability of such interfaces.
