Researchers from the MIT developed a software that can take the ambiguity out of what people say and do. An algorithm can analyze speech and tone. The data is used to work out what a person is feeling for every five seconds in a conversation. The software is integrated into a smart watch. It could be the first step to build a social coach for people with an anxiety disorder or conditions like autism.
