Sightcorp has two development kits in-market: CrowdSight, which uses facial analysis to determine age and gender, mood, attention and emotional reactions; and InSight, which offers eye-tracking alongside emotion recognition.

Affectiva’s Affdex kit, meanwhile, is a mobile-ready version of its existing online facial analysis technology. “Users’ facial expressions are captured (via device camera, video or single image) and valuable emotion insights are generated on-device,” the company said.
