Requirements engineering (RE) plays a crucial role in developing software systems by bridging the gap between stakeholders’ needs and system specifications. However, effective communication and elicitation of stakeholder requirements can be challenging, as traditional RE methods often overlook emotional cues. This paper introduces a multi-modal emotion recognition platform (MEmoRE) to enhance the requirements engineering process by capturing and analyzing the emotional cues of stakeholders in real-time. MEmoRE leverages state-of-the-art emotion recognition techniques, integrating facial expression, vocal intonation, and textual sentiment analysis to comprehensively understand stakeholder emotions. This multi-modal approach ensures the accurate and timely detection of emotional cues, enabling requirements engineers to tailor their elicitation strategies and improve overall communication with stakeholders. We further intend to employ our platform for later RE stages, such as requirements reviews and usability testing. By integrating multi-modal emotion recognition into requirements engineering, we aim to pave the way for more empathetic, effective, and successful software development processes. We performed a preliminary evaluation of our platform. This paper reports on the platform design, preliminary evaluation, and future development plan as an ongoing project.
