Abstract:

This article introduces the Emteq's OCOsenseTM smart glasses equipped with a novel noncontact OCOTM sensor technology for measuring facial muscle activation and expressions based on high-resolution tracking of skin movement. We demonstrate that the OCOTM sensor technology based on optomyography is a sensitive and accurate approach for assessing skin movement in three dimensions, providing a means for measuring the facial expressions used to assess emotional valence such as smile, frown, and eyebrow raise. We propose that glasses-based optomyography sensing has the potential to herald a paradigm shift in real-world facial expression monitoring, thus enabling real-time emotional analytics with healthcare and research applications.
