Affectiva's emotion sensing and analytics technology uses a standard webcam or mobile device camera to measure facial expressions of emotion. Built with computer vision and machine learning methodologies, the emotion recognition algorithms are able to detect "micro expressions" to determine a person's precise mood.
The potential applications are endless, from market research in media and advertising to car safety, health care, education and beyond. Earlier this year, Affectiva launched a software development kit (SDK), making the technology available to developers interested in incorporating users' real-time emotions into their apps and digital experiences.
