Seminar: A Wearable Interface for Facial Expression Reading to Describe and Augment Interaction
I will give a seminar on “A Wearable Interface for Facial Expression Reading to Describe and Augment Interaction” as part of the Departmental Seminar Series in the school of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering at the University of Essex.
Date: June 19th, 2013
Location: 1N1.4.1
Time: 3.30 pm
Facial expressions are a continuous source of information about a person’s internal state and are used daily by humans to interact with each other. Even though great advances have been made in the field of facial recognition, mostly from video, there are certain situations where it is preferable to use an alternative way to recognize facial expressions, namely the wearable interface. Such an interface must record facial expressions continuously, be unobtrusive and wearable by anyone, anywhere. A novel method to read, display and transmit facial expressions uses distal electromyographic (EMG) signals captured from the side of the face.
By reading facial expressions it is possible to describe interaction, such as the characteristics of Smile Sharing and the expressed positive emotions of children with autism spectrum disorders as they experience dog assisted activities. Facial expressions can also enhance interaction by controlling an affective avatar in a virtual world, activating a robotic facial prosthetic to return facial expressiveness to hemifacially paralyzed patients, and to coach robots interacting with humans towards desired behaviors.
