  • Publication number: 20250118105
    Abstract: Provided is a system or method configured to present reactions exhibited by participants in an online event to users such that individual participants are not identified, thereby preventing the participants from being conscious that their reactions are being sensed, and thus enabling them to naturally exhibit their reactions, which allows the users to acquire information on the participants' naturally-exhibited reactions. The system includes a user terminal provided with a camera; and an analysis server configured to acquire camera images of each participant from the terminal device, and perform a reaction sensing operation to sense reactions exhibited by the each participant based on the camera images. The analysis server aggregates results of the reaction sensing operation for all the participants to thereby generate reaction information on the all the participant's reactions (e.g., level information and proportion information), and generates display information that visualizes the reaction information.
