HapFACS
Open source software/API for generating FACS-based facial expressions on 3D conversational agents
Our HapFACS open source software for facial expression generation based on Ekman's (1992) Facial Action Coding Systems (FACS) - the current standard on facial coding of the human face - enables:
Our work is further described in the following article:
- researchers on 3-dimensional animated characters - without expertise in computer graphics nor in FACS - to design a set of FACS-based facial expressions on the Haptek virtual character platform and to integrate their expressive avatars in their applications; and
- researchers on facial expression recognition to experiment with realistically generated expressions at the level of 49 individual Action Units (AUs), including bilateral (49 AUs) and unilateral (14 AUs).
