Say Cheese! Your smile´s being rated

Hot smiles, cold smiles, sexy smiles, friendly smiles, cute smiles, flattering smiles, the list is endless. But how would you like software that helps you measure a smile? You think I’m crazy? Read on.
The Smile Measuring Software, which is what Omron claims to have developed, can rate the amount of happiness the person in a photo is exhibiting. Jeez, that way my hyper-strict uncle will get a 0%.
Jokes apart, the software is only 50 kb in weight, and though of course you and me could never consider it accurate, as a human smile has many diverse meanings, it may well be the base on which robots (Sheesh I hate em now) may understand their owner’s mood in later times.
Infact, the subject doesn’t even need to be looking at the camera, and yeah also, the software runs on embedded mobile chips. Sounds like fun, but if it’s too darn expensive, I’d rather leave the efficiency of a smile to the subject and not give a second thought about it, let alone buy software to rate it. (NR)
