eMoto emotional messages

eMoto - a joint project between The Swedish Insitute of Computer Science and Stockolm University - is a mobile messaging service for sending and receiving affective messages. The application extends on both the input and output channels when sending text messages between mobile phones.

The aim is to convey more of the emotional content through the very narrow channel that a text message otherwise provides. In eMoto users therefore use affective gestures to convey the emotional content of their messages which are then translated and communicated in colors, shapes and animations.
