Abstract

GTrace is a program which allows users to create a 'trace' that specifies how they see emotion rising and falling over time. They respond by using a mouse to move a cursor in a 1-D window which appears beside the material to be rated. Users can select from a range of pre-specified scales, or form their own. This version of the program is compatible with the new standard for describing emotion on the web, embodied in EmotionML (http://www.w3.org/TR/emotionml/). It can be downloaded from http://go.qub.ac.uk/GTrace.
