Usage of Vocal Emotion Recognition as a Game Mechanism

Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to see how voice-centric gameplay could impact a video game experience. The game we developed resembles a visual novel, the main difference being that the player has to vocally express his/her emotion to choose a path and to progress in the story. We'll see how the emotion-triggered game mechanism fares when combined with an unpopular video game feature, the usage of voice as a controller.
