Assistive Product EmpaT

especially job interviews

In the project, a simulation environment was developed that allows people to assess and improve their social and emotional skills in an interactive dialog with virtual avatars. The system is able to recognize social communication signals and emotions, taking into account their causes, and thus adapt to individual sensitivities. For example, a smile - depending on the context - can be interpreted as an expression of joy or embarrassment. The target group includes young people entering the world of work, but also professionals who are reorienting themselves, as well as training personnel and recruiters who can train job application situations adapted to these roles. Privacy concerns are taken into account. (Source: KI.ASSIST)
