New software by California-based company Emotient can do just that. Using a simple digital camera Emotient's software can analyze a human face
and determine whether that person is feeling joy sadness surprise anger fear disgust contempt or any combination of those seven emotions.
The company's software called Facet can reconnect those dots by accurately reading the emotions registering on a person's face in a single photograph or video frame.
because the software can track the fluctuations and strengths of emotion over time and even capture microexpressions or little flickers of emotion that pass over people's faces before they can control themselves
The software can also pick up on other subtle facial signs that a human might miss.
In these types of cases the software does need images clearer than 40 pixels but the required resolution is still within a common webcam's capabilities.
Medical applications So what are some uses for software that can identify human emotions based on facial expressions?
Facet's applications are incredibly far-reaching from treating children with autism to play-testing video games.
As a research professor at the University of California San diego's Machine Perception Lab Bartlett has been studying the use of facial recognition software to help people with autism for several years. 5 Controversial Mental health Treatments
Using an earlier version of Facet's software for example Bartlett and her colleagues created a game in
Using Emotient's software the game assesses the player's success in recreating that expression and returns a score.
It's easy to speculate on how software that can recognize the emotions behind human facial expressions
Instead Bartlett said Emotient is now working on among other things the software's potential for identifying
