The singularity is near. Two Dutch researchers, Theo Gevers and Nicu Sebe, have developed a face recognition system that determine’s a person’s mood. Specifically, it can tell how happy a person is at a given moment in time. When the computers take over and strive to make life perfect for humankind, by their robotic standards, it’s software like this that will make their jobs a piece of cake. I suppose such technology could also be useful in test marketing new products, but that’s just boring, now isn’t it?
