Facilitating public awareness—the design of information distribution for communication in future workplaces

We present Emo System that extends e‐mail communication system in a workspace environment. In this system, the emotional information included in e‐mail message is extracted and shared in the public space, while reserving the private exchange of messages. As a result, people in the public space become aware of the ‘emotional’ information. This paper discusses how we extract and segment the information to share the emotional information.
