So, to figure out just how happy, angry or aggressive a person is, RIM would enlist a series of sensors that detect motion (think accelerometers and gyroscopes) and their attendant emotional states. A smartphone’s front-facing camera could also be used to determine a person’s facial expression. <br><br clear=all><a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/07/rim-wants-your-friends-to-know-when-youre-rage-texting/">http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/07/rim-wants-your-friends-to-know-when-youre-rage-texting/</a><br><br>-- <br>Mark Kelly<br>Manager of ICT, Reporting, IT Learning Area<br>McKinnon Secondary College<br>McKinnon Rd McKinnon 3204, Victoria, Australia<br>Direct line / Voicemail: +613 8520 9085, Fax +613 9578 9253<br><a href="mailto:kel@mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au" target="_blank">kel@mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au</a> << use this, not Edumail please!<br>VCE IT Lecture Notes: <a href="http://vceit.com" target="_blank">http://vceit.com</a><br>Moderator: IT Applications Edulist<br><br>--<br>The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn - Alvin Toffler.<br><br><o:p></o:p></p></div></body><!--[object_id=#SID=010500000000000515000000dd15460a8f3d3a4b926fc012fd600000#]--><P align=left><FONT face=Arial color=#808080 size=2>
