Creating and managing interaction channels

Learn about the InteractionChannel endpoint collection, which enables you to create and manage interaction channels.

Interaction channels enable Affective Computing (powered by Virtue) and your solution users to communicate.

Interaction channels can be of the following types:

Type	Description
Input interaction channel	These channels enable Affective Computing (powered by Virtue) to receive information from or about the solution experience. For example, if an end-user must provide an input during the experience through the UI of a custom app, the app's front end should be set up as the input interaction channel.
Output interaction channel	Affective Computing (powered by Virtue) uses these to channel actions. For example, if the action delivered involves changing the properties of an environmental object (for example, turning on a light), the object should be set up as the output interaction channel.

To understand the concept of interaction channels in detail, see Interaction channels.
