DSAIR Labs made a emotion detection AI and I was tasked to come up with ideas for a smile app/game for them. We wanted something to help with the mental health area of things and the idea was to have an app or game that either forces the user to smile or help the user keep track of his or her emotions and get the help he or she needs.
I came up with a few, one of them is a smile to shoot shooting game with a flying cat in space shooting rainbows to color black and white items. Another is a emotion journal where the user keeps track of his/her feelings and the app generates a beautiful picture/landscape at the end of the day that portrays the user's emotions for that day.
I also came up with an idea of a pet collecting game where the player has to smile to hatch the creatures and tame them. Most of the ideas are just in concept phase as the programmers we had were leaving so they just stick to what debugging their existing projects.
