| Popgadget - A device warning a speaker that they're in danger of losing the attention of the crowd would be useful to a professor, but absolutely necessary for an autistic adult unable to read body language and emotion. MIT grad student Rana El Kaliouby uses intelligent software to interpret emotions from body language and facial expressions captured via a wearable computer/video camera combination. The video data is used to decide whether the listener is agreeing, disagreeing, thinking, concentrating, interested, or unsure. The result is an Emotional Social Intelligence Prosthetic that will vibrate whenever the listener's attention veers off topic. |
