it is possible to measure your smile Now it is possible to measure your smile not with human sense but with the help of latest gizmo, thanks to a new smile measurement technology is developed by Japanese electronics and health care company Omron Corp. The software technology, called Okao Catch, scans a video image to detect faces. It can find up to 100 faces in an image, according to Yasushi Kawamoto of Omron. Okao Catch, which means ‘face catch’, then analyses the curves of the lips, eye movement and other facial characteristics to decide how much a person is smiling using data collected from a million people and their smiles, he said. In a demonstration, a camcorder took videos of journalists covering the announcement on Thursday. Percentage numbers indicating how much each person was smiling popped up in bold blue letters next to their faces on a monitor, flashing higher or lower as their expressions changed. So get ready to measure how pretty you look when u smile.
