Description(English)	EmoChat is a messenger that enhances emotional expression by changing typefaces based on the user's emotions. It aims to reduce misunderstandings and improve clarity in text-based conversations, particularly for users accustomed to non-face-to-face interactions. The AI model detects the user's primary emotions from facial expressions and automatically provides corresponding fonts, enriching emotional expression in messaging. To achieve this, 188 typefaces were categorized into 8 types, and a survey with 40 experts developed 50 sets of typefaces. EmoChat offers a new communication solution that enables rich interactions in messaging.
Description(Native)	EmoChat은 사용자의 감정에 따라 서체를 변경하여 감정 표현을 강화한 메신저입니다. 특히 비대면 대화에 익숙한 사용자들의 텍스트 기반 대화에서 오해를 줄이고 감정 표현의 명확성을 높이는 것을 목표로 합니다. AI 모델이 사용자의 얼굴 표정에서 대표 감정을 감지하고, 이에 맞는 감정 서체를 자동으로 제공함으로써 메신저에서 감정 표현을 풍부하게 합니다. 이를 위해 188개의 서체를 8가지 형태별로 분류하고 40명의 서체 전문가에게 설문조사를 실시하여 50개의 감정 서체 세트를 개발했습니다. EmoChat은 디지털 시대의 감정 전달을 위한 새로운 솔루션을 제공하며, 메신저에서도 상대방과 풍부한 감정적 상호작용을 가능하게 합니다.
