Abstract

A user may react to an interaction by exhibiting a mental state. A camera or other monitoring device can be used to capture one or more manifestations of the user's mental state, such as facial expressions, electrodermal activity, or movements. However, there may be conditions where the monitoring device is not able to detect the manifestation continually. Thus, various capabilities and implementations are described where the mental state data is collected on an intermittent basis, analyzed, and an output rendered based on the analysis of the mental state data.
