In CHI'19 Extended Abstracts: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems Extended Abstracts. Glasgow, UK, May 4 - 9, 2019. ACM, New York, NY, USA. (bib)

This work presents a model for the development of affective assistants based on the pillars of user states and traits. Traits are defined as long-term qualities like personality, personal experiences, preferences, and demographics, while the user state comprises cognitive load, emotional states, and physiological parameters. We discuss useful input values and the necessary developments for an advancement of affective assistants with the example of an affective in-car voice assistant.
