Have you ever felt like you’re just not smiling as fully as you used to? Do you feel that your maximum smile potential is more than what you actually achieve when flashing your pearly whites? Are you Batman and wish you had a device that could show who in a crowd has the biggest smile, thus helping you pick out the Joker when he’s in disguise? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then the minds at Omron Corp. have got just the thing for you with their new Okao Catch, or “face catch” technology.
Interestingly, though, Omron Corp. hopes to expand the use of its tech to beyond just seeing who has the biggest grin as they’re researching applications for it in the fields of robotics and medicine. No word yet, though, if Wayne Enterprises is researching similar technology.
