After the success/hilarity of Microsoft’s age-judging tool, we were all waiting with bated breath for the next bit of tech to emerge from the company’s Project Oxford initiative.
And here it is. Emotion recognition.
The new tool lets you upload photos and discover the exact breakdown of all the emotions you’re feeling in the moment.
Once scanned for faces, some posh recognition algorithms will rank eight basic emotions from 0 to 1 (1 meaning feeling that mood 100%): anger, contempt, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, neutral/meh, and surprise.
