Veeso: The VR headset that can interpret emotions
Virtual Realtiy has become the talk of the town lately. With the launch of different VR technologies ranging from Samsung Gear VR, the very famous Pokemon Go to Google Cardboard , there is always something new to be experienced when it comes to this side of technology. Veeso, a Virtual Reality headset with face tracking technology which captures the facial expression and interprets every emotion of the person wearing it through sensor technology. So who doesn’t want to experience the way we look digital to others!
The smartphone enabled VR headset is compatible to iOS and Android devices. The company claims that this headset is the first of its kind where the software enables the user, not only to communicate with one another but also to ‘emote’, which means to capture users’ facial expressions and emotions, and transfer them in real time into the digital world.
Veeso is a product of Be and Become, a New York based company which is currently raising funds on indiegogo for the development of the product. According to a report in Daily Mail Joseph D’Anna, Co-Founder and Chief Executive of Veeso, said, “When we decided to bring that special interaction that occurs between people and bring it into virtual reality we realized the technology is not there. Veeso has built in infrared cameras that track your facial expressions and transfers them to a virtual avatar. Imagine being transformed into a favourite gaming character, if all games and movies could reflect your emotions.”
