Face and Emotion API from Microsoft - Processing camera input from the Hololens to detect age, gender and emotion in real-world scenarios. It's been fun, this is just the beginning in playing around with what's actually useful in the Hololens world.

That's cool! I've played with some of Microsoft's face/emotion stuff, but have not tried the Hololens at all. Does the emotion stuff actually work reliably yet?

So far so good!
I'm week 2 into hololens and day 3 into the API's. Emotion has been pretty spot on for every face I've tried. Face has been good on the attributes, but about 50/50 on age. It's either about 90% accurate or a decade off.. which has led to some good laughs in the office.
