The interesting part for me was to see what it rated my expression when I believed to have a neutral emotion showing. It seems I look a little angry and contemptuous all the time.

Dig the project.

Apparently when I laugh I show disgust, no wonder I'm no longer invited to dinner parties! I partly joke, but it did do a good job at distinguishing different expressions but maybe not assigning them to the correct one.

For me, contorting my face into a horrible bared-tooth grimace was interpreted as "joy".

Cool app. It's interesting to think about the idea of different content/ads being served to people based on their emotion.

Very nice experiment. It will be nice to be able to test it without playing the youtube video.

Can anyone explain that this is about?

The website popped up with a request to use my camera (I declined - I don't know what this even is, wants to do etc).

What is this trying to do?

Yes, it's a demo of Affectiva's JS SDK, tracking your emotions in real-time as you watch a YouTube video.
