Demo

camemoji demo

How it works

Uses firebase to upload pictures from the webcam and Vision API to get a result of the emotion.

Currently the emotion mappers looks like this:

"NORMAL": "😐",
"HAPPY": "🙂",
"VERY_HAPPY": "😄",
"SAD": "🙁",
"VERY_SAD": "😭",
"ANGRY": "😠",
"VERY_ANGRY": "😡",
"SURPRISED": "😮",
"HEADWEAR": "🤠"

Running the project

Google Vision API

To run this project you'll need to set up a Google Vision Credential account, enable the API, create the authentication file and add it in your root project called auth.json.

Firebase

Additionally, for file upload I set up a firebase project for storage, you'll need the API Keyand the Storage Bucket in a firebase_auth.js file in the root of the project.
