<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">We envision 2019 to be the year by when the affective computing technologies leave their sheltered lab environments to become available and accessible to everyone
in every domain, including industry, school, office, home, entertainment and even outdoor environments. Therefore, ACII 2019 will be based around the theme of Affective Computing for ALL (AC4ALL) and will focus on inclusive technology, inclusive design principles
and inclusive user interfaces which "consider the full range of human diversity with respect to ability, language, culture, gender, age and other forms of human difference."<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>
