SGC18: Fernando Bevilacqua - Are you stressed or are you bored?
21Computer vision has evolved significantly over the past years. It is now possible to use the technology to detect emotions of players in real-time. The process involves the detection of heart rate and facial expressions, all performed remotely using a camera. No sensors or touching the player. In this talk, you will see a software (and the research behind it) that can tell if a player is stressed or bored in real-time during the interaction with a game.
