Description

SPEECHLESS is a creative coding project, created as a fictional installation.

The system uses face recognition to evaluate one’s emotions and their intensity. Two people have to synchronize their emotions, basically communicating without words. The experience ends when the two people, represented by colorful dynamic blobs, reach an emotional sync of 100%.

I worked on the entire coding process, using p5.js and the FaceAPI library.

Blobs get closer depending on the emotional sync

Blobs transitions in colour and shape depending on the strongest emotion detected
