B.E.S.T: Basic Emotion & Sentiment Tracking

Abstract

The emergence of depression, personality disorders, serious emotional disturbance & social anxiety disorder among children in our modern society is now alarming. Lack of interaction & communication is a major aspect of it. Nowadays, in nuclear family children aren’t able to get much of interaction with elders which leaves them most of the time by themselves, this affects their emotional development & expressiveness. So, our primary focus is on development of a system which can be fitted into any preferable or favourite toy which will ease the process of developing a child-toy emotional bond. Later the same will help for tracking of emotion & sentiments as the relation which child develops with the companion toy helps the child to be expressive about his/her thoughts, feelings & day to day events. A subsidiary goal is to improve communication & interaction between child and parents.
