Alter Ego: Computer Reflections of Human Emotions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we briefly review and discuss the ideas of self, emotion, and facial expression, and describe how a digital art work in the form of an interactive installation entitled Alter Ego was created to publicly explore these concepts. This work makes use of a variety of strands of modern technology: facial feature tracking, automatic facial measurements from live video, facial expression detection, and realistic avatar and expression modeling in 3D. In essence, the image of an autonomous alter ego of the user is created as a mirror reflection in real time. We further consider the place of Alter Ego in relation to contemporary human subjectivity, digital game theory, and its possible applications in research into the human psyche.

The ability of the self to alter its own responses, including thoughts, emotions, impulsive behaviors, and performances, is powerfully adaptive, and failures of selfcontrol contribute to most personal and social problems.
