Gender Specific User Design Face vs. Interface

Abstract

Human factors research has shown that the design and display of computer graphics plays a crucial role in the user operability of computer applications. In the future people will communicate with a face on the computer display screen. Already, advancements in artificial intelligence allow humans to “communicate” with computers through voice pattern recognition. Current work in artificial intelligence will allow the computer and user to “read” each other’s facial expressions, understanding what can be communicated through facial mechanics. Research in facial emotion processing has suggested that gender plays a major role in the ability to correctly process human facial emotion.
