The human face provides a number of signals essential for interpersonal communication in our social life. It is our direct and naturally preeminent means of communicating and understanding someone’s affective state and intentions on the basis of the shown facial expression.

FaceReader is a revolutionary new tool, capable of analyzing facial signals. By measuring the facial expression of a person, this new product gives you an objective indication of this person’s emotion.

What is FaceReader?

FaceReader is the first system to automatically recognize specific properties in facial images, including the following emotional expressions:

• happy
• sad
• angry
• surprised
• scared
• disgusted
• ‘neutral’ state

Emotions are represented as bar graphs and as a continuous signal. An additional gauge display summarizes how negative or positive the emotion is.

For more information on FaceReader you can download the product leaflet or fill out a form to request information specified to your research. 

To give you an impression of how FaceReader can be applied to your research, have a look at a number of publications.
