San Diego Emotient announced the private beta of a new Google Glass app that uses the company’s Emotion API technology. Glassware builds upon Emotient’s prior effort of reading emotions from people in images or in real-time through camera software.

Educators and teaching apps could tailor learning modules based on the frustration level of a student, for example. Restaurants could quickly see if diners really aren’t liking their meal even before being asked “How did everything turn out?”

They don’t mention it in the article, but you can bet law enforcement and intelligence services will be all over this.

From my point of view, not surprisingly, I am fascinated by some of the options for video games. (“Come on! Make your angry face! You’ll get +10 Damage!”)
