Apple was once again on a shopping spree. This time the Startup Emotient it has incorporated a specialist in facial recognition, as iClarified reports. Per artificial intelligence the Emotient software is to recognize emotions in the situation.
So far, the Emotient software had been used primarily by companies in the advertising industry to identify audience reactions to commercials. The medicine had also been interest in the technology: So it was examined whether the software can read out the strength of pain from his face when the patient can not tell even
In addition, images of a surveillance camera, the software did. evaluated at retail to get hints on customer emotions. As is customary for such acquisitions is Apple not provide any information about possible targets of the Action: “Apple buys occasionally smaller tech companies and we are talking fundamentally not about the purpose or plans,” it said in a statement
So it had. Apple, for example, also handled the purchase of VocalIQ. Unlike Emotient the software of the company does not recognize faces, but language. About a later field of application therefore can only speculate. So Siri could recognize my camera if you just have a bad day. It is also conceivable to use the Apple Car: Caught you a camera while nodding off, it could automatically switch to an autopilot. Just as it is possible, however, that the software is not used in any Apple product.
