Imagine two people working as a team, perhaps two tennis players playing doubles, or a pair of soldiers infiltrating an enemy base.
When working together well, the two members become a single unit.
And they achieve this level of “oneness” not by virtue of language, but by virtue of the emotional expressions they signal to one another. (Think: How do a pair of hunting dogs do it?)
What if, say, you could be bound together with your motorcycle as a team working as one?
What if you could effortlessly communicate with your motorcycle using natural emotional expressions?
And what if your motorcycle could communicate with you in a natural emotional way that you understand “in your bones”?
As our vehicles begin to have their own artificial intelligence, in order for the vehicle to work with the driver so as to be a single team, the vehicle must both understand the meaning of emotional expressions, and be able to signal them (perhaps by slight variations in the intonation of the engine’s “voice”, or via the visual feedback, or via variations in the tactile characteristics of the steering wheel or seat, or via …).
Our EMOTION CHIP technology has the power to allow emotion-machine interfaces.

Background on the EMOTION CHIP:
Most affective computing systems today include (at least) six dimensions -- anger, sadness, fear, disgust, happiness and surprise. Because people can mix multiple expressions together, that means there is a combinatorial explosion of possible expressive mixtures (729, in fact). But what do these more than 700 expressions actually mean? Building software to recognize a consumer’s emotional expression is a complicated challenge. But the power in doing so comes from understanding what the expressions mean, and thereby knowing how the software should respond.
EMOTION CHIP technology addresses this issue, giving rigorous meanings to emotional expressions in the context of your business.
This new groundbreaking theory is the subject of Human Factory founder Mark Changizi's sixth book, WHAT EMOTIONS MEAN.

- What is the consumer’s feeling about what just happened?
- What does the consumer want?
- How serious is he about it?
- What is the consumer’s opinion about the entity it is interacting with?
- How sure of himself is the consumer?
- How disagreeable is the interaction thus far?
