Abstract :
Adaptive human computer interaction is necessary for successfully closing the affective loop within intelligent interactive systems. This paper investigates the impact of adaptivity on the physiological state and the expressed emotional preferences of users. A physical interactive game is used as a test-bed system and its real-time adaptation mechanism is evaluated using a survey experiment. Results reveal that entertainment preferences expressed are consistent with the affective model constructed and that adaptation generates dissimilar physiological responses with respect to preferences.
