7 Key Emotions Translated into Sounds Through Artificial Intelligence
The AI app Facing Emotions assesses the emotion it sees on another person’s face to help someone who is blind or visually impaired “see” the emotion of the person they are talking with. The app uses the rear camera on the phone to evaluate the nose, mouth, eyebrows, and eyes. AI then processes the emotion—for example, contempt, anger, fear, disgust, sadness, happiness, surprise—into a defined sound heard on the phone. The analysis happens in real time and in offline mode. The app was designed by Huawei in partnership with the Polish Blind Association. It is available to download on Mate 20 Pro and on Google Play. Cost: Free app
