Creating, managing, and performing interactions

Learn about the Interaction endpoint collection, which enables you to create, manage, and perform interactions between your solution and its users.

Every time an end-user logs in, they start interacting with Affective Computing (powered by Virtue)'s infrastructure. At that exact moment, a new session is created and the entry point generates the corresponding session ID.

You can use the endpoints in the Interaction collection to set the characteristics of interactions between Affective Computing and users and retrieve information about them. You can do the following:

• Initialize an interaction session

• Perform an interaction

• Group interactions:

  • Initialize a group interaction

  • Dissolve a group interaction

• Queue actions

• Consume queued actions

• View the number of queued actions of a specific type

• View all interaction sessions of a user

• View the recent interaction history

• Inform Affective Computing about an active interaction

• Validate whether a foreign ID was previously used

• View the interaction mode of a specific interaction session

• End an interaction session

• View all interaction modes

• Summon a VH

• Terminate a VH

• View details of all summoned VHs

• View the status of all summoned VHs

• Begin data augmentation for clone simulations

• Begin data augmentation for bulk simulations

• View all interactions performed by an actual user whose data was augmented for simulation

• Validate whether the diagnostics process is complete for a user

• Manually broadcast an action to a set of VHs

• Analyze the psychological evolution of VHs during a simulation

Query parameters

Parameter	Description
