"Dance Dance Revolution" is a very popular dance machine game in the United States. At present, you can use facial expressions to play a similar game.

Face Dance, a music game based on facial recognition technology, is gaining viral transmission in Asia. There is a video showing that players are very funny when playing the game.

in this game, you need to imitate a variety of emoji emoji prompted on the screen and step on the music rhythm. For example, if the game shows that you need to close your eyes and open your mouth, you must make such an expression in order to score.

the app developers say the app uses facial recognition technology to detect players' facial expressions and determine whether they are consistent with the emoji indicated on the screen.

the topic of # FaceDanceChallenge has appeared on Twitter. Players in the Philippines, Vietnam and Hong Kong are scrambling to try all kinds of funny expressions.

but Mashable's actual tests found that the app relies more on motion sensing than facial expressions. If you turn your head quickly, the app is likely to judge that you made the right expression and score.

currently, the game has been released in iPhone and Android versions, with 700000 downloads. The app also topped Apple's App Store download list in places such as Thailand and Hong Kong.

the developer of this app is DiffCat Game Studio in Vietnam. The company CEO Giang Nguyen said that when they first developed the game, they did not expect the game to achieve viral transmission.

he said he promoted the game on Facebook, created a special page for the game and uploaded funny videos of players playing the game. "then, my friend and I went hiking for five days and couldn't surf the Internet. When I came back, my feeling was, what happened? "

Giang Nguyen said his motivation for developing the game was that he found no similar ideas on the market.

this game took 4 months to develop, but initially encountered problems. He says the team has a lot of problems to solve, such as optimizing for low-end phones because of the computational complexity of the game. "play music, shoot on camera, and compare your facial expressions and emoji in real time."
