Abstract
A computer-implemented method for providing cinematic content to a user via a computer-controlled media player includes accessing by a processor a content package including a targeted emotional arc and a collection of digital objects each associated with codes indicating an emotional profile of the each digital object, playing digital objects selected from the content package thereby outputting an audio-video signal for display by an output device; receiving sensor data from at least one sensor positioned to sense a biometric feature of a user watching the output device; determining a value of one or more emotional state variables, based on the sensor data; and selecting the digital objects for the playing based on the one or more emotional state variables, a recent value of the targeted emotional arc, and the one or more codes indicating an emotional profile. An apparatus is configured to perform the method using hardware, firmware, and/or software.
