Publication number: 20140098986Abstract: Included are embodiments for performing video analysis. Some embodiments include a system with a memory component that stores logic that, when executed by the system, causes the system to receive video content of a subject, identify a mannerism of the subject at a point in time in the video content, and determine an emotional state associated with the mannerism. In some embodiments, the logic causes the system to receive a file that correlates the mannerism with the point in time and provide a user interface that provides the video content with data from the file, such that the mannerism is provided with the data.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2012Publication date: April 10, 2014Applicant: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Nick Robert Harrington, Robb Olsen, David Matsumoto, Hyi Sung Hwang
