Unit 7 New computer mirrors viewer’s mood
Researchers in America and England have developed software that scans the feelings on peoples’ faces and then produces a piece of computer-generated artwork. The technology is still very new. It analyses eight basic expressions, including the position and shape of the mouth, the openness of the eyes and the angle of the eyes. This information is picked up by a web cam, which uses data from the person’s face to guess how the viewer is feeling. The program automatically chooses colors and types of brush strokes each time the person’s expression changes and paints a new picture of his or her mood. Lead researcher Dr. John Collomosse said the technology "does all of this in real time, meaning that as the viewer's emotions change the artwork [also changes]".
Collomosse said: “Once you have the program and have adjusted it for the individual viewer, you are ready to start recreating personalized art based on your mood.” The project is part of ongoing research to develop different artwork tools for use in the computer graphics industry. It may also have uses in other fields. Analysts could use the software to find out more about the psychological state of patients. A trained doctor could look at the images and then give a patient advice on how to lead a happier life or be more confident. The program may also provide a little more color to our dreary everyday lives - by placing uplifting artwork in front of us wherever we go. No more gray faces on the daily train to the office.
