What is it about?
The paper presents the OCOsenseTM smart glasses system, which recognizes and monitors facial gestures and expressions by using non-contact novel optomyographic OCOTM sensors and an IMU (a sensor detecting movement similar to those in smart phones) placed inside the frames of the glasses. The glasses stream the sensor data via Bluetooth to a mobile device, where data-fusion algorithms are applied, to recognize facial gestures and expressions in real time. The recognized gestures and expressions are then used as input to interact with the mobile device.

Why is it important?
We believe that the OCOsenseTM glasses are the next generation in wearables, which will allow for a better understanding of the user's context and emotional state, and will allow numerous ways to interact with smart devices and computer systems, even within Augmented and Extended Reality environments. Future versions of the system can be used in a variety of domains, including, affective computing, remote mental-health monitoring, and hands-free human-computer interaction, thus improving accessibility and inclusivity of future technologies.
