We want an Avatar that acts as navigation support on a website to recognize the current mood of the user in order to react appropriately.

To accomplish that goal the users face is being analyzed by a webcam. The collected data (e.g. eyebrow height, angles of mouth corner) will then be processed by an algorithm that eventually compares the results with a database.

This database needs to be generated first which is realized by arbitrary test-users that manually rate random face expressions. Doing the evaluation one should think carefully to which option the proposed mood corresponds best.

Possible moods: displeased | confused | pleased

Thank you for your efforts!
