Abstract EN

Nowadays, there is a need to provide new applications which allow the definition and implementation of safe environments that attends to the user needs and increases their wellbeing.

In this sense, this paper introduces the EJaCalIVE framework which allows the creation of emotional virtual environments that incorporate agents, eHealth related devices, human actors, and emotions projecting them virtually and managing the interaction between all the elements.

In this way, the proposed framework allows the design and programming of intelligent virtual environments, as well as the simulation and detection of human emotions which can be used for the improvement of the decision-making processes of the developed entities.

The paper also shows a case study that enforces the need of this framework in common environments like nursing homes or assisted living facilities.

Concretely, the case study proposes the simulation of a residence for the elderly.

The main goal is to have an emotion-based simulation to train an assistance robot avoiding the complexity involved in working with the real elders.

The main advantage of the proposed framework is to provide a safe environment, that is, an environment where users are able to interact safely with the system.
