Abstract (EN): Audience complete action immersion sensation is still the ultimate goal of the multimedia industry. In spite of the significant technical audiovisual advances that enable more realistic contents, coping with individual audience needs and desires is still an incomplete achievement. The proposed project's intention is to contribute for solving this issue through enabling real-time dynamic multimedia storylines with emotional subconscious audience interaction. Individual emotional state assessment is accomplished by direct access to online biometric information. Recent technologic breakthroughs have enabled the usage of minimal invasive biometric hardware devices that no longer interfere with the audience immersion feeling. Other key module of the project is the conceptualization of a dynamic storyline multimedia content system with emotional metadata, responsible for enabling discrete or continuous storyline route options. The unifying component is the definition of the full-duplex communication protocol. The current stage of research has already produced a spin-off product capable of providing computer mouse control through electromyography and has identified key factors in human emotions through experiments conducted in the developed system's architecture that have enabled semi-automatic emotion assessment.
