The word is out – we’re building the world’s first emotion-sensing eyewear. Our breakthrough Sense glasses can detect subtle changes in facial expression with incredible accuracy thanks to sensors inspired by the efficiency of “fly vision”.

“We can manage what we measure, but what we mostly measure are things like money or speed…What we can't really measure is quality. And quality is about emotions. And emotions can be sensed most sensitively with expressions.” Steen Strand and I had a great conversation with Boone Ashworth at WIRED for his article “These Smart Glasses Will Read Your Emotions and Watch What You Eat” Just to be clear, we are measuring emotional responses, that is, the actions that result from felt experiences. This is only with the explicit consent of the wearer. Privacy concerns are paramount, as with all health-related data. To those who want to shut things down before they get started, I suggest they consider this: Imagine modern healthcare if fear had stopped people from donating their precious time, tissue samples, or even genetic information for the good of mankind. The pandemic would have been very different, and those who would have suffered even more would have been the most disadvantaged. Caution is fine, but let’s remember that the future is built by optimists. I recommend that anyone interested in the science of emotions should read the excellent work of Lisa Feldman Barrett e.g., How Emotions Are Made and Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain.
