Abstract

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for emotional reaction sharing are provided. For example, a client device captures video of a user viewing content, such as a live stream video. Landmark points, corresponding to facial features of the user, are identified and provided to a user reaction distribution service that evaluates the landmark points to identify a facial expression of the user, such as a crying facial expression. The facial expression, such as landmark points that can be applied to a three-dimensional model of an avatar to recreate the facial expression, are provided to client devices of users viewing the content, such as a second client device. The second client device applies the landmark points of the facial expression to a bone structure mapping and a muscle movement mapping to create an expressive avatar having the facial expression for display to a second user.
