Valence determines the color's hue.

Arousal determines the color's saturation.
From calm, unsaturated to aroused, fully saturated.

Dominance determines the brightness.

Emosaic Visualizing Affective Content of Text at Varying Granularity

Insert your text to the right and start exploring your text based on its emotional content.

Emosaic analyzes text according its emotional content using a database of affective norms of valence, arousal, and dominance published by the Center for Reading Research at Ghent University. Every word in its database is translated into a color using our custom colorspace.

Emosaic is a research project by Philipp Geuder, Marie Claire Leidinger, Martin von Lupin, Marian Dörk and Tobias Schröder at University of Applied Sciences Potsdam.
