This is great - demo controlled by facial expressions on a webcam? Or just a speculative prototype?
At my last employer () one of the engineers wrote up a demo with unity using our emotion-detecting technology. You could get different reactions from a dragon based on the faces you made at it. It was cute but also made what we did “click” with visitors.

That reminds me of this project I made a few years ago, not so much emotion-detecting but it was a musical instrument you could play with your face. People really got into it, jamming together with their friends and making all kinds of weird expressions to see what would happen

It's actually simpler than that - just four keys on the keyboard and the combinations that arise from them lead to over a dozen different expressions

I wanted to stay away from using the webcam as one of the core ideas in originally building this tool was eliminate the pressure of having to appear on camera

Over just 24 hours last weekend @jborichevskiy and I built a spatial audio chat called Cozyroom that makes online meetings feel a bit closer to hanging out in a physical space
Check out our prototype at cozyroom.xyz
