Abstract

As distributed online communication becomes increasingly common, and audiences for live online presentations grow larger, the ability to receive meaningful feedback from audience members who are distant and distributed becomes a necessity. To this end, we have built upon previous work to create a tool that is capable of providing real time feedback to an online presenter about the engagement level of the audience. The tool makes inferences by using computer vision and machine learning techniques to analyze the faces of audience members.

Keywords: computer vision machine learning distance lecturing online presentations
