AURA — Facial Analysis for YouTube
Real-time facial analysis on YouTube — not a lie detector
AURA overlays real-time facial analysis on any YouTube video — 468 landmarks, FACS Action Units, expressions and microexpressions — running 100% on-device via Google MediaPipe. No uploads, no account, no tracking. It's honest about its limits: it is NOT a lie detector (facial deception detection is unreliable), so that part is clearly labeled non-diagnostic. Free, no ads.
Hey 👋 I'm the maker.
I kept seeing "facial emotion AI" that implies it can read minds or detect lies. I wanted the honest opposite: show the real signal, and be clear where the science stops.
AURA overlays real-time facial analysis on any YouTube video — 468 landmarks, FACS Action Units, expressions, microexpressions — 100% on-device (no frame leaves your browser).
Useful for:
• Studying facial expression / FACS live (psychology, acting, animation)
• Actors & creators reviewing expressions
• Observing expression shifts in talks/interviews (as observation, not verdict)
The hard part was restraint: facial lie-detection is unreliable (~54%), so instead of faking a "lie detector" I labeled that layer a non-diagnostic "incongruence index," with a disclaimer in the UI.
Free, no ads, no account. Feedback welcome!
