Facial Expression Recognition: From Perception to Application

Contains presentation slides from a talk at the NIPS 2000 Affective Computing Workshop held in Breckenridge, Colorado, December 2, 2000. The talk begins with two caveats to facial expression researchers: the failure of shape constancy for facial expression perception, and cultural effects observed in our experiments. I propose that intentional HCI is an interesting domain for research on facial action, and that musical interaction is a promising area for affective computing researchers. The talk concluded with an announcement of the ACM CHI'01 workshop on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME).
