Inspiration
Our teammate has worked with people with autism and has noticed how difficult it is to communicate with others not on the spectrum. We hope that this app will help increase their confidence without judgment, ultimately making them feel less frustrated explaining their thoughts to others.
What it does
MoodMatch allows its users to identify and practice facial expressions with the power of AI. Its advanced recognition software using a front-facing camera allows users to look at the guide to try and practice increasing their score matching to the prompt.
How we built it
We used a facial recognition API from Apple and React for the web application portion.
Challenges we ran into
We spent some time getting the percentage of emotion shown on the screen, as well as some UX functionalities on the front end.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of using a facial recognition API to combat an issue that most people overlook. The time spent researching case studies of people on the autism spectrum allowed us to gain a broader perspective of who our audience is.
What's next for MoodMatch
We hope to allow users to also chat with a chatbot to increase engagement, as well as implementing a tasks functionality to conquer the overwhelmingness of completing tasks. We also hope to add more emotions, or a combination of emotions.
