An Inclusive World of Emotions

Kelvin K W Lee

Abstract

'An Inclusive World of Emotions' is an innovative HKBU service-learning project combining advanced technology with empathy development. Students use MetaHuman and Unreal Engine to create realistic 3D facial animations portraying ethnic minority students' emotions to understand and share their emotional experiences. The project applies Scherer's appraisal theory and leverages AI tools for monologue design, episodic visual memory creation, and facial performance preparation. Students interview ethnic minority students from the Islamic Kasim Tuet Memorial College HK, create fictional characters, and produce empathetic animations. This approach enhances students' technical skills, emotional understanding, and sensitivity towards diverse social and ethnic groups, bridging technology and psychology in animation education.
All the animations are hosted on the YouTube Project Channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@SLFacialAnimProj.
