Facebook has applied for a patent for some unique software that detects the emotion displayed of an input photo or photos and then gives you a mask to reflect the emotion of the plurality of the photos. The patent says a user of the social network can select a mask that reflects how they're feeling and use it to exaggerate their emotions. Further, the patent is pretty in-depth and I'd recommend you read the whole thing to get a feel for how it works. Interesting to say the least.

n one embodiment, a method includes identifying an emotion associated with an identified first object in one or more input images, selecting, based on the emotion, a mask from a set of masks, where the mask specifies one or more mask effects, and for each of the input images, applying the mask to the input image.

This is a patent application, not an issued patent. It was filed in December, 2016, and the application was published yesterday. The application is currently under final rejection at the USPTO.

thankfully.. the internet is filled with calm.. rational people, having pleasant and constructive conversations, always looking out to see how things are, from all sides. Moving beyond their current boundaries of understanding
