Making Mona Lisa Smile

The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in the classroom is valuable. To tell how someone is feeling whether or not they are using facial expressions with a computer is kinda of a cool thing. Although, some people just have a straight face and not feeling any type of way. But, in a way it might be weird to others.

Imagine a computer telling you how you feel at that moment and trying to help you feel better. So COOL right! " The computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles." That was created by Dr. Huang that now just relies on the psychologists. Also, the text states, " Dr. Pual Eckman, creator of FACS (Facial Action Coding System). Eckman has classified six basic emotions-- happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness--and then associated each with characteristics movements of the facial muscles." The invention was a very smart invention. If they can brighten someones day, it'll make the world so much happier. Knowing people are always on there phone when they are upset or angry or, evening smiling, that is by far the greatest idea. The text also states, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. Then it could modify the lessons, like an effective human instructor." Also, "According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even produce them." That is amazing progress and who ever would of thought something like this could be done. I believe you could get alot of things done faster, because being bored, confused mad or upset while trying to do work you really dont want to. So something that'll chnge your facial expression to happy is wonderful. Think about all the positivity.

Now. some people like there privacy and dont like sharing or telling peoiple what the problem his. Alot of people are blank faced or like to fake a smile and go on about their day. The text states, "Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried,etc." In the meaning of sometimes we dont know how we feel, again sometimes we juist want to be left alone in a situation and figure it out ourselves. The text also states, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication," notes Dr. Huang. " So computers need to understand that too." So, theres not of lot of back up for this invention being a bad idea, but you have to look at it both wyas. There are really some privite people out there who aren't in the mood to be happy or people who are antisocial and doesnt use computers oe cell phones. They live old school, many wiould have never known about this invention.

In conclusion to Making Mona Lisa Smile, being happy is the number 1 key to life, whether it seems or feels like it. With someone trying to make you happy you feel special , just think you dont have anyone but a computer to rely on, you think to yourslf well what can a computer do to help me. Then coming to find out it can do just as muc as a person can but not physically.

It's a great inventiona and could be very successful.
