iMotion |
About a year ago we emailed iMotion to ask if they would be able to |
process videos of autistic students and tell us (digitally) when their |
software detected facial expressions that indicated an emotion. There |
are plenty of challenges - someone with Angelman's must smile most of |
the time - but not because they are necessarily happy. We were hoping |
maybe SOME students would smile when they did a movement well (or |
poorly) or perhaps frown if they did not do a movement well. Any |
reasonably consistent show of emotion would be great. |
But it turned out the company had moved on from its original goal and |
was focused on helping advertisers understand how people reacted to |
ads. |
Then we heard that iMotion had been bought by Apple in January. |
To our considerable confusion the following email showed up |
Subject: Last
chance to but Emotient
Facial Expression software
Hello Peter,
You are receiving this email because you
have expressed interest in the iMotions
- Emotient FACET technology (Facial
Expression Recognition) in the past.
As you might have heard, Emotient was
sold to Apple Inc. at the beginning of
the year. As of today iMotions is the
sole vendor of the Emotient FACET
technology in the World, but that will
soon come to an end.
I am reaching out to know if you are
interested in acquiring the technology
before it disappears from the market on
September 30th, 2016. After
this date we are not able to sell the
technology anymore, though all existing
iMotions - Emotient FACET clients will
be supported by iMotions for the years
to come.
With iMotions - Emotient FACET you can
analyze facial expressions (Emotions,
Valence, Action Units, Facial Landmarks,
etc...) in sync with any type of
stimuli, post-process pre-recorded
facial videos, slice and dice the data,
create markers, etc... and combine many
other biosensors to the mix. I am
attaching a brochure that explains the
main features and metrics you can get.
Please let me know if you are interested
to have a short call to discuss the
different options.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
