EMOTIONAL ANALYSIS AND DEPICTION IN VIRTUAL REALITY

摘要

Embodiments of the invention are directed to computer-implemented methods, computer systems, and computer program products for customizing a virtual reality avatar. The method includes receiving inputs from an electromyography sensor. The inputs from the electromyography sensor include inputs derived from the activity or inactivity of facial muscles. In some embodiments, the electromyography sensor is integrated into a head mounted display to be in contact with a user's facial muscles. The inputs from the electromyography sensor are translated into data that represents sensed facial expressions. The facial features of the user's virtual reality avatar are modified based at least in part on the data that represents sensed facial expressions.
