title = "Facial expression mapping inside head mounted display by embedded optical sensors",
abstract = "Head Mounted Display (HMD) provides an immersive ex-perience in virtual environments for various purposes such as for games and communication. However, it is difficult to capture facial expression in a HMD-based virtual environ-ment because the upper half of user's face is covered up by the HMD. In this paper, we propose a facial expression mapping technology between user and a virtual avatar using embedded optical sensors and machine learning. The dis-tance between each sensor and surface of the face is meas-ured by the optical sensors that are attached inside the HMD. Our system learns the sensor values of each facial expression by neural network and creates a classifier to estimate the current facial expression.",
