TOKYO -- Fujitsu and Lenovo Group have developed a device that reads facial expressions and tracks movements using artificial intelligence, the Asian technology companies said Wednesday, as part of a push into new data analysis services amid a shrinking PC market.
The prototype can parse video data to read the emotions of elementary schoolers, helping educators keep tabs on how the students are feeling. The device also can track the movements of elderly people at home, alerting guardians or caregivers if needed. Fujitsu Client Computing, the joint venture between the Japanese and Chinese personal computer veterans, aims to commercialize the product in two to three years.
