Let's face-off on Facebook

Who knows in future you may be able to emote to your friend's FB posts in your own wide mouthed haha, open mouthed wow or a puckered brow frown? Going by the indications, things are inching towards such a reality. Facebook's latest acquisition – of a face recognition company FacioMetrics -- has become the talk of the tech town regarding the possibilities of inclusion of facial gesture controls on the app front. Close on the heels of this merger, this startup's apps have been withdrawn from the App Store and Play Store. 'Intraface', the facial image analysis app from Faciometrics could enable detection of seven facial emotions.
