Description

We present a novel wearable facial recognition system ”AffectiveWear”. This device can recognize seven facial expressions (neutral, disgust, angry, smile, laugh, sad, and surprise). It looks like a normal eyewear; you can wear anytime, anywhere. We made two prototypes with eight sensors and sixteen sensors. Its accuracy of categorization is up to 98.7%. With this, you can enrich your communication with others or computers in various ways.

From the Graduate School of Media and Design at Keio University and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Tokyo, Japan.
