Page "Affective computing" Paragraph 19

However, for real life application, naturalistic data is preferred.

A naturalistic database can be produced by observation and analysis of subjects in their natural context.

Ultimately, such database should allow the system to recognize emotions based on their context as well as work out the goals and outcomes of the interaction.

The nature of this type of data allows for authentic real life implementation, due to the fact it describes states naturally occurring during the human-computer interaction ( HCI ).
