VOCALYTICS

Vocalytics wants to make you a better public speaker. The project uses machine learning to analyze videos of your performances and gives you feedback on your body language. The team trained the system to look for your hand gestures and pose, but the plan is to expand this project to also look at your eye gaze, facial animation, and other non-verbal gestures. The ultimate goal of Vocalytics, which was built by Danish Dhamani and Paritosh Gupta, is to build an A.I. that can give you feedback on your body language that’s on par with what you’d get from a professional coach. A typical speaker training session with a human coach generally involves a deep analysis of a previous performance — and analyzing your body language is always part of that.
