Technology has forever altered the way we communicate, the way we interpret the world around us. But just as exciting as the interface that connects all of us, is the power of technology to help us understand human emotion in a more tangible way. For instance, computer technology and biometrics have reached the point where we can monitor physical cues like a person’s palm sweat, heart rate, voice dynamics, breathing and movements to interpret their emotional state.  And by tracking emotions and making them visible like this, we have the potential to better understand what shapes us as human beings.
