Features of emoTouch (for iPad)

In an emoTouch session the user can continuously give reactions to played music, movies as well as live performances in one or two dimensions. An example for application is the elicitation of emotional self-disclosures in the two-dimensional emotion space with the dimensions valence (quality of emotion: negative - positive) and arousal (degree of arousal: active - passive). In emoTouch the user can for the first time directly and intuitively touch the emotion space. emoTouch offers a variety of features and configuration options:

• configurable user feedback in the form of a smileys or any image and a "worm" that visualizes the completed movement.
• marking of special events (e.g. musically induced goose bumps, 'chills') by a special touch gesture
• Music and video selection from the device's media library
• Silent mode for ratings at live concerts
• configurable coordinate system with arbitrary labels
• limitation of dimensions to x- or y-axis. This allows emoTouch to work as a one-dimensional slider for appropriate questions.
• freely selectable background images in order to freely adapt the overall design to the respective question or axis scaling, also as (partial) overlay of the video
• Configurable sampling rates of up to 30Hz
• Display of an arbitrary website at the end of a session allows the inclusion of an additional questionnaire or a "thank you" window
• Replay mode for previously collected data, including multiple runs or subjects simultaneously and optional visualization of arithmetic mean and standard deviation
• Data export to a text file readable by all common statistical programs with flexible scaling of the individual dimensions
