In this project, I experimented the question of facial synchrony with extremely novel methods. I created a series of interactive tasks, including a 3D-hologram balloon pumping game. I integrated a couple of advanced facial analysis techniques. Also, I am discovering and implementing novel statistical techniques to automate synchrony analysis.

Example: When two participants were not allowed to speak to each other, their facial expressions were more aligned over time.
Example: When two participants were able to communicate freely, their facial expressions were less aligned.
