Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Video games are becoming a part of the lives of many, many people. They are able to evoke a wide range of emotions, from joy and excitement to fear and empathy, creating deep immersion and memorable impressions for players. How do they manage it and is it possible to use the emotions themselves in the game itself? This article presents the concept of developing a system of dynamic procedural content generation (PCG) with game mechanics of interaction using emotions based on methods affective computing. To achieve this goal, The article developed an emotion recognition system based on fuzzy logic. And PCG performed by Artificial Neural Networks. In the video game industry, affective computing methods, such as interaction with the expression of emotions, can bring great benefits, since the emotional involvement of the player is very important. This will make a new contribution to the diversity of human-computer interaction.
