At a London exhibition — the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition — visitors will be able to witness an ‘emotionally aware’ computer system designed to read people’s minds by studying their facial expressions. Visitors are being invited to help ‘train’ the computer to read expressions like joy, anger, and grief, among others. Its designers say there are potential commercial uses, such as picking the right time to sell someone something — apparently when they are in the right mood and open to influence.
But it is also expected to improve driver safety by reading when drivers are tired and sleepy, besides helping people with autism. The computer — connected to a camera — locates and tracks 24 facial ‘feature points’ such as the edge of the nose, the eyebrows and the corners of the mouth. A total of 20 key facial movements — including a nod or shake of the head, a raise of the eyebrow, or a pull on the corner of the mouth — have been identified. Combinations of these movements, which are thought to represent underlying emotions, are then fed into software and used to detect the same facial combinations in real-life situations.
