Say cheese: "Smile Measurement Software" has arrived 7 Sep 2007
Coming soon to a digital camera / mobile phone near you...Omron has just released what its calling "Smile Measurement Software" which tells you what your smile factor is on a scale of 0 to 100%. The software uses 3D face mapping technology to "ensure accurate smile detection and measurement even when the subject is not looking into the camera".
Don't you wish we could go back to the old days where photographers only got one chance to get a picture right? Digital cameras have enabled annoying amateur snappers to demand hundreds of retakes and "Smile Measurement Software" is only going to make things worse. "Hmmm...it's not a bad photo...but your smile only shows 78% joy". Aaaaargh!

"I don't get it. The first time I took your picture your smile was at 75%, which was decent, but with each retake, your smile level drops at least 10%."
