Do you know "saudade"? The importance of a cultural and language-based emotion approach for HCI

Abstract

We argue that if emotional aspects are incorporated during the design phase of technologies and interfaces - or in technologies for recognizing users' emotions such as affective computing - culture and language should be taken as relevant criteria.
