Visual-based sentiment logging in magic smart mirrors

摘要

This paper describes the hardware and software architectures of a smart magic mirror able to acquire and track the user's face, recognize his identity, analyze and log his facial expressions and emotional states. The magic mirror is basically a see-through mirror made smart by a led display placed behind the mirror that enables to display the User Interface (UI). The mirror is connected to a small single-board computer attached to a set of input sensors (a traditional RGB camera to enable vision-based interaction, a microphone to enable voice interaction, temperature and humidity sensors, and proximity sensors) and to an embedded machine intelligence platform that performs all the neural computations.
