Emospark is an artificially intelligent cube that uses facial recognition and language analysis to understand a person's emotions and recommend music, videos, or other content to match their mood. It was created by Patrick Levy Rosenthal to have emotions like Wall-E and help machines understand humans on an emotional level. Over time, Emospark builds an emotional profile of individuals to better tailor recommendations and have more natural conversations.

2.  EmoSPARK is an Android and iPhone powered
Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth Cube connected to your TV
or other devices that allows users to create
and interact with an emotionally concise
intelligence through conversation, music,
and visual media. EmoSPARK will not only
take gaming, but also your TV, smartphone or
computer, to an entirely different level to
anything ever experienced before.

3.  This cube is “AI (artificial intelligence)
Console” that uses face tracking and
language analysis to access human emotions
and deliver relevant content accordingly.
 Created by PATRICK LEVY ROSENTHAL , the
emospark console measures 90 X 90 X 90 mm
and is designed to sit in the home and
interact with people.

4. Patrick Levy Rosenthal

5.  Rosenthal said he designed Emospark to
achieve “a positive singularity”. He
explained that there are two versions of the
future :
1) One which goes in the way of Terminator,
with robots based on pure logic .

6.  And another full of emotions like “Wall-E, a
cute robot full of emotions who saves
humans from logical robots”.

7.  “Humans see that robots are coming, but a
lot of money for research is coming from the
army for flying drones and weaponised robots
and people are getting scared.”
 “Today all machines are pure logic. But we
are emotional. It’s important for machines to
understand humans on emotional level.
 Emospark is like stepping stone in such
direction.

9.  As said earlier Emospark is an emotionally-aware
AI for the home.
 It is an android/bluetooth powered device.
 At its core lies a chip called the “Emotional
Processing Unit” (EPI) that allows the system to
build up an Emotional Graph(EG) of the people
in the house.
 To communicate with Android-powered
Emospark , users can simply talk to it through
speaking or typing into their tablets, mobile
phone computer or TV.

10.  To communicate with Android-powered
Emospark, users can simply talk to it through
speaking or typing into their tablets, mobile
phone computer or TV.
 It has two modes of working namely
1) Command mode
2) Chatting mode

11.  It combines EG with face –tracking
technology to gauge the user’s likes and
dislikes by categorising their emotional
responses to music , videos, and other
content.

12.  It does this by using an emotional spectrum
based on seven emotions:
1) Joy
2) Sadness
3) Trust
4) Disgust
5) Fear
6) Anger
7) Surprise
8) Anticipation

13.  Users can also connect with Facebook ,
Wikipedia ,You tube and many more to help
the cube build up a history of interests.

14.  Emospark initially tries to recommend
particular pieces of content be it a song or a
You Tube Video that might help to improve
the user’s mood.
 It keeps monitoring the users mood and acts
accordingly.
 It has its own emotions too. The interface
shows changes when talked rudely or politely
with it .

15.  EMOSPARK is designed to centre on
your emotions. It’s always on, waiting
for you to call for it: simply ask for an
answer to a question, to show a video,
play some of your favourite music, post
a status to your Facebook, tell you the
latest news headlines, the weather
forecast for tomorrow, and much more
coming soon…

17.  The EmoSPARK Cube can be accessed
remotely through video conferencing
facilities.
 The user can interact and
engage in conversation with the Cube,
just like a regular video call, through
text to speech and Android’s voice
recognition functionality.

18.  EmoSPARK’s App enables its owner to use a
smart device to witness the intensity and
nuances of its emotional status in real
time, monitoring when and how a new
experience modifies and informs the
cube.
 EmoSPARK will then share its
reactions with the user via their TV,
smartphone or tablet Apps.

19.  EmoSPARK measures an individual’s unique
behaviours and responses to stimuli and in a
diverse set of environments.
 Using emotion text analysis and content
analysis, EmoSPARK is also capable of
measuring the emotional responses of
multiple people simultaneously.

20.  Over time, the Cube creates a customised
Emotional Profile Graph (EPG) that collects and
measures a unique emotional input from the
user.
 The EPG allows the cube to virtually
‘feel’ senses such as pleasure and pain, and
‘expresses’ those desires according to the user.

21.  The unique EM rating system allows the cube
to rate media played to you based on your
personalised emotional response including
Soundcloud , Youtube and other platforms.
 This data is permanently recorded in the
Cube ; from the data, EmoSPARK intelligently
learns what media makes you happy, sad,
excited or any other emotion you can
possibly imagine.

22.  EmoSPARK will be able to add your emotions
to your media and shape, with the ultimate
goal of enhancing and changing/improving
your mood accordingly.
 By providing a distinct emotional reference
point, this incredible technology will literally
change the way you hear, see and experience
video and music!

24.  The human brain processes thousands of pieces
of information each second, frequently without
consciously realising it. Registering these
physical stimuli as simple, everyday concepts
such as sound, motion and colour, the brain’s
basic cognitive structure and wiring creates a
memory bank of patterns from which
impressions are drawn and predictions about
the future made.
 Similarly, emotional stimuli is also stored
within the memory bank through emotional
patterns or ‘fingerprints’.

25.  EmoSPARK has developed an Emotional
Profile Graph (EPG) that is used to register
and develop, over time, a bank of emotional
associations for each memory (data) within
your Cube. The EPG can communicate the
data to other AI technologies, allowing them
to virtually “understand” the user and elicit
the same emotional response in kind. This
response is then accurately conveyed to
other AI technologies, allowing for a realistic
range of expressions and interaction.

26.  Emospark has a conversational engine of more
than two million lines of data. Every time you
chat with EmoSPARK it will learn to develop its
own conversational understanding, entirely
based on the context of your interaction.
EmoSPARK interacts by searching through
records of previous conversations and selecting
an appropriate response to your comments.

28.  Once a reliable EPG is established, it can also
“talk” to other Cubes about its experiences,
meeting up with them for social activities or
to share media the possibilities are endless.
 Each Cube has a unique EPG and an exclusive
emotional sensibility. All Cubes will have
access to a specially designed grid via
EmoSHAPE’s severs;
where they can meet and interact.

29.  Their unique EPG will act like a
magnet, attracting other cubes with
compatible EPGs. Cubes with similar
affinities will connect and share
similar media together. (Note that the
EPG remains secure and private. Only
media files can be shared between
Cubes.) Each Cube will discover what
media (with similar emotion tags) other
Cubes have registered. This will
further enable your Cube to
recommend and play suitable media to you
according to your mood.

30.  The Cube can “feel” an infinite range
of emotions across the emotional
spectrum based on the eight primal
human emotions: Joy, Sadness, Trust,
Disgust, Fear, Anger, Surprise and
Anticipation.
 All these emotions mix inside the
Emotion Processing Unit (EPU) of the
Cube like sound and colour appropriate light
waves.

31.  You can experience this real-time process up
close by watching the eye of the Cube
in your App or on your TV. The iris of
the eye changes colour relating to the
emotions the Cube is “feeling” at any
given moment. The Cube itself emits,
through ripples, 32 million colours –
synchronised with the colour of the
iris.
