As for whether the Mac camera pics make for more accurate data? Dunno… instinctively it seems like it should, but I’ve not seen anything obvious in the data to back that up.

As this is an extension of your previous work at home I assume it’s still taking the highest ranked “emotion” it detects. I’d be fascinated to see a comparison between a still shot and an avatar mixing all the “emotion” values and see how accurrate that is. If it’s accurrate enough then it might be a nice way of representing some of the data, showing the world how you currently feel without exposing anything confidential in the background and of course amusing for the general ridiculous faces the avatar will inevitably come up with

Also do you reckon (not looking for numbers to quantify) you’re getting a more accurate representation with a better camera, you being closer and polling 2/3 more often?

Thankyou for the post. Just like you said, it would be interesting to use it on some of the people visiting the demo lab and showing it to them at the end of the lab visit.
