dsaffy··on Live Avatars with face-api.js
Thanks!

I'm still exploring for sure - but there are benefits to some of the limits. I'd love a more realtime mode for when people are actually in a conversation in our product, but haven't gotten that working perfectly yet.

We initially felt pressure to smile before I made the default a pseudo-smile (check out the three faces in the blog post). Now the "neutral" face looks somewhat happy so no more complaints.

Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure it's for everyone. I also made an option for the avatar without the facial recognition, so it just grays out if your keyboard/mouse doesn't fire for 15s.
