This article introduces the Emteqs OCOsense smart glasses equipped with a novel non-contact OCO sensor technology for measuring facial muscle activation and expressions based on high resolution tracking of skin movement. We demonstrate that the OCO sensor technology based on optomyography is a sensitive and accurate approach for assessing skin movement in 3 dimensions, providing a means for measuring the facial expressions used to assess emotional valence such as smile, frown, and eyebrow raise. We propose that glasses-based optomyography sensing has the potential to herald a paradigm shift in real-world facial expression monitoring, thus enabling real-time emotional analytics with healthcare and research applications.
