EmoShortcuts: Emotionally Expressive Body Augmentation for Social Mixed Reality Avatars
summary
A system called EmoShortcuts automatically maps detected emotion types to prerecorded, motion-captured body animations and lets users pre-tune per-emotion intensity (levels 1–5) and adjust with three lightweight controls: global expressivity knob, mode switch to body tracking, and gesture cancel swipe. Evaluated with a within-subjects study (n=16, plus a 12-person formative study), results show lower cognitive workload and higher emotion accuracy, with stronger effects during dual-tasking and noted concerns about high-intensity AI errors.
