In an episode of the Big Bang Theory, Sheldon beta tests a MIT invention to help him detect emotions.
Could I out do the fictional MIT and make a better version?
I tried.
You can play with it at emotion-detection-automation.herokuapp.com
You point the camera at a face and press the big red button.
To make it I used:
- Sinatra
- webcamjs
- aws-sdk gem for Amazon Rekognition
- A big red button
Thank you to Amy for drawing the pictures and helping me choose emotionally appropriate colours.
How many emotions can you make it find?
