Project

With TIPS, we will develop 1) Multi-modal video chatting that lets users freely use any of text/voice/video, 2) Facial augmentation based on deep learning that enables automatic recommendation of facial expression effects

Project Summary

People’s face are ambiguous many times, so facial expression recognition based on one’s video and voice is hard. If we utilize other chat participants face and conversation text together and process it through deep learning technology, the accuracy can be greatly improved. This is possible because we are servicing a group video chat, and could be used to recommend emotion effect as well as ad analysis in our service.

Business Model

Mobile services are moving to video as well as video chat evolving to the next stage. Video chatting, however, is still awkward in many places. SMOOTHY is a group video chat that tackles this problem with a new UX that lets the user freely use any of text/voice/video.
