Abstract
An example non-transitory machine-readable medium includes instructions executable by a processor to capture a biometric signal from a biometric sensor at a headset that includes a stereoscopic display, capture a facial motion signal from a facial motion sensor associated with the headset, determine facial movement of a wearer of the headset based on the facial motion signal, apply a weight to the biometric signal based on the facial movement to obtain a weighted biometric signal, and use the weighted biometric signal to determine an emotional state of the wearer.
Claims15
A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions executable by a processor to:
- capture a biometric signal from a biometric sensor at a headset hat includes a stereoscopic display;
- capture a facial motion signal from a facial motion sensor associated with the headset;
- determine facial movement of a wearer of the headset based on the facial motion signal;
- apply a weight to the biometric signal based on the facial movement to obtain a weighted biometric signal;
- and
- use the weighted biometric signal to determine an emotional state of the wearer.
A headset comprising;
- a stereoscopic display;
- a facial motion sensor;
- a biometric sensor;
- and
- a processor to capture a facial motion signal from the facial motion sensor and to capture a biometric signal from the biometric sensor, the processor to apply a weight to the biometric signal based on the facial motion sensor to detect an emotion of a wearer of the headset.
A method comprising:
- capturing a biometric signal from a biometric sensor at a headset hat includes a stereoscopic display;
- capturing a facial motion signal from a facial motion sensor associated with the headset;
- applying a weight to the biometric signal based on the facial motion signal to obtain a weighted biometric signal;
- applying the weighted biometric signal to determine an emotional state of a wearer of the headset;
- and
- outputting an indication of the emotional state.
