Abstract

In one exemplary embodiment, a method includes the step of obtaining a digital image of a user with a user-facing camera of a computing device. It is determined that the digital image includes a frontal image of the user. A user-sentiment score is calculated based on at least one attribute of the frontal image. A user engagement value is determined with respect to a portion of a display of the computing device. At least one of the frontal image of the user, the user-sentiment score or the gaze position of the user is communicated to an external server process or an application operating in the computing device.
