National Australia Bank | Voice-enabled self-reflexion experience

Combining facial analysis and speech recognition, people could scan their face and give answers on topics designed to trigger a conversation. While answering, the web application analysed what people said and extracted key themes. By the end, people had a one of a kind artistic representation of themselves. A unique visualisation of that person’s real ambitions, transforming them into art through the use of technology.See More
