Abstract
Emotion recognition technology is being used to provide feedback to advertisers, sharing emotions through social media, and providing assistance to those who struggle to detect emotions. Affectiva is one of the companies whose emotion detection software is being used for these purposes. People with autism have trouble detecting emotion in animated faces and humans. The Affdex SDK provided by Affectiva gives developers a chance to use Affectiva’s technology for their own ideas and purposes. Affdex provides a fast and accurate method for facial feature tracking and emotion output. The Affdex SDK can be used to create a game for autism therapy.
