Terminator Style Facial Recognition Detects Gender, Age Group & Mood

Luckily the picture speaks a thousand words, the technology “allows visitors to look at a display, connected with a computer and a camera which detects their gender, age group and mood” This is pretty amazing, I wonder if it will make it’s way onto mobile via Augmented Reality apps or picture recognition solutions?

But general noise seems to have an effect too. Shield says the sound of “babble” – the chatter of other children, is particularly distracting in the classroom. Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend on what kind of noise it is – and the volume. Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class.
