Abstract
Emotional/cognitive state presentation is described. When two or more users, each using a device configured to present emotional/cognitive state data, are in proximity to one another, each device communicates an emotional/cognitive state of the user of the device to another device. Upon receiving data indicating an emotional/cognitive state of another user, an indication of the emotional/cognitive state of the user is presented.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- detecting, at a first device associated with a first user, a second device associated with a second user that is in viewing proximity to the first device;
- determining, by the first device, an emotional or cognitive state of the first user;
- accessing a parameter, stored in association with the second user, to verify that the first user has previously selected the second user as a specific person with which the emotional or cognitive state of the first user can be shared;
- at least partly in response to detecting the second device is in viewing proximity to the first device, communicating, to the second device, an indication of the emotional or cognitive state of the first user;
- at least partly in response to detecting the second device is in viewing proximity to the first device, receiving, from the second device, an indication of an emotional or cognitive state of the second user;
- and
- presenting a virtual indicator of the emotional or cognitive state of the second user based on a position of the second user within a virtual reality environment or mixed reality environment visible to the first user.

A device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- computer readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
- detect another device in viewing proximity to the device, wherein the device is associated with a first user and the other device is associated with a second user;
- determine an emotional or cognitive state of the first user based at least in part on sensor data representing a physiological condition of the first user;
- access a parameter, stored in association with the second user, to verify that the first user has previously selected the second user as a specific person with which the emotional or cognitive state of the first user can be shared;
- send, from the device to the other device and based at least in part on the other device being in viewing proximity to the device, data indicating the emotional or cognitive state of the first user;
- at least partly in response to detecting that the other device in viewing proximity to the device, receive, from the other device, an indication of an emotional or cognitive state of the second user;
- and
- present a virtual indicator of the emotional or cognitive state of the second user based on a position of the second user within a virtual reality environment or mixed reality environment visible to the first user.
7 more elements
One or more non-transitory computer readable media having computer-executable instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a first computing device, cause the first computing device to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a second computing device in viewing proximity to the first computing device, wherein the first computing device is associated with a first user and the second computing device is associated with a second user;
- determining, based on sensor data, an emotional or cognitive state of the first user;
- accessing a parameter, stored in association with the second user, to verify that the first user has previously selected the second user as a specific person with which the emotional or cognitive state of the first user can be shared;
- transmitting from the first computing device to the second computing device based at least in part on the second computing device being in viewing proximity to the first computing device, data indicating the emotional or cognitive state of the first user;
- at least partly in response to detecting the second computing device in viewing proximity to the first computing device, receiving, from the second computing device, an indication of an emotional or cognitive state of the second user;
- and
- presenting a virtual indicator of the emotional or cognitive state of the second user based on a position of the second user within a virtual reality environment or mixed reality environment visible to the first user.
