Fraunhofer IIS presents a real-time* face tracker on Google Glass that can read people's emotions. At the same time it also estimates age and gender of persons in front of Glass' camera. Privacy is important: everything happens inside Glass – no image leaves the device. Detection is anonymous – no facial recognition. The app is based on SHORE, Fraunhofer's proprietary software library for real-time facial detection and analysis. Emotion analysis on wearable devices has endless applications. E.g. it can be used in aids for people suffering from ASD (autism spectrum disorders) or for visually impaired.
* low frame rate shown in the video is due to a bottleneck in the technique used to mirror Glass' display on a computer monitor.
