If someone says that your smile is contagious, it might be a pun; Japanese are there to support this with an interesting technology- Okao Catch. Omron Corp., the Japanese electronics and health care company, introduced this technology that measures the breadth of a smile. It spots up to 100 faces and places a fractional bar on-screen with how much each person is smiling. Okao Catch or the Face Catch evaluates the arcs of the lips, eye movement, and other facial features. Percentage number, popped up in bold blue letters, indicates the magnitude of a smile depending upon the expressions. A grin records as high as 89 percent while a somber face registers a minimal 0 percent. Interestingly, Omron wishes to utilize this technology either to appraise the state of mind of patients in the medical field, or introduce in mobile phones. Still other options are to employ it in perfecting one's smile, or for robotic communication in decoding human responses. So, now we have Okao Catch that can assist us to find out the hidden purport of Mona Lisa’s infatuating smile.
