In a breakthrough that isn’t at all creepy, scientists have devised a method of anchoring living human skin to robots’ faces. The technology could actually have some valuable applications, beyond making Westworld-like scenarios a reality.Continue Readi… Continue reading New technique gives robotic faces living human skin
It’s better to spot drunk drivers as soon as they get in their car, not once they’ve already been dangerously driving the roads for some time. A new facial tracking system was created with that fact in mind, and it utilizes a regular in-vehicle video c… Continue reading In-car cameras could soon spot intoxication on drivers’ faces
If someone has suffered a stroke, the sooner they get the appropriate medical attention, the better. A new smartphone tool may help ensure that happens, by allowing first responders to determine if a patient has indeed experienced a stroke.Continue Rea… Continue reading AI smartphone tool spots strokes in seconds by analyzing facial videos
Two new technologies allow a single pair of glasses to track eye movements and read the wearer’s facial expressions, respectively. The systems use sonar instead of cameras, for better battery life and increased user privacy.Continue ReadingCategory: We… Continue reading Odd-looking glasses track your eyes and facial expressions without cameras

If humanoid robots are ever going to fully integrate in society, they’re going to need to get good at reading our emotional states and responding appropriately. A new wearable from researchers in Korea could help them do just that.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Wearable face sensors add to the evolution of tech that “gets” us
In order to get tested for sleep apnea, patients typically have to spend a night sleeping at a clinic with numerous hard-wired sensors stuck to their skin. A new high-tech facial patch system however, could soon allow those people to spend the night in… Continue reading Electronic facial patches designed for better monitoring of sleep apnea
While some assistance is available to individuals who lack the power of speech, verbally communicating with other people can still be challenging. A new face-worn strain sensor could help, as it’s able to “read” the wearer’s silently mouthed words.Cont… Continue reading Facial strain sensor could give a voice to the voiceless
Remember when everyone was experimenting with different kinds of cloth face mask designs back in 2020? For many, the frustration of mask wearing could be offset by the creative ways cloth masks were decoratively deployed.Continue ReadingCategory: Healt… Continue reading How a Silicon Valley dad designed the next generation of face mask
Engineers at Cornell University have developed a new wearable device that can monitor a person’s facial expressions through sonar and recreate them on a digital avatar. Removing cameras from the equation could alleviate privacy concerns.Continue Readin… Continue reading Wearable sonar tracks facial expressions using sound instead of cameras
