Self-cam can record 24 feature points of personal face and infer the wearer's hidden affective-cognitive states. It can identify 20 facial and head movements and 11 gestures. It uses Bayesian Network to infer the affective-cognitive states. The states includes agreeing, disagree, interested, confused, concentrating and thinking. Wearer can explore his/her apperence in the interaction.

This is a little equipment that can be used to record the feature point. I may used it to detect some personal activities and emotions. As the result, I can provide feed back to help people to do some interaction. (CHI?)

I think it looks like that poeple like to take photos themself. In many camara, the producer provides the fucntion of "self-photoing". It take advantage human's instinct. I think this may be workable in the recognition of emotions.
