This has enormous potential for advertising and will be a money maker, I'm sure of it.

I think it's both creepy & unnecessary but I'm sure some will enjoy it

Mabey the technology could be used in a game somehow. If a NYC would respond differently based on the facial expressions it was using as an input. How would you like that, Rain?

Perhaps, but the individual application doesn't really matter, bc the bigger point is about what the technology, that is of computers being able to read and respond to emotions and what may come from it.

So I'll ask you what I asked the previous gentleman; would a game using this possibly be appealing?

Maybe with a crime based game it has some use but right off the top of my head it has limited use, though anything which can had more immersion is good.
