The applet at right is a simple example of what I'm talking about. Each slider may affect many of the curves on the face but a single emotion of interest to the user. Several improvements immediately suggest themselves: more emotions, smarter interactions between the emotions (like ligatures in a typeface), dimples and nose - dimples might only show up if certain emotions passed a predefined threshold value. If anyone is interested, drop me a line and I'll send along the source. Feel free to link to or copy the applet for use elsewhere.
