Video: NYC Needs A Feel-O-Meter

The Fühlometer (Feel-o-meter) has been around for at least a year, traveling to different cities in the world, but not yet reaching New York. The interactive art installation is like a Bat Signal of emotions, changing its face to reflect the mood of whatever city it's in. Laughing Squid explains today, "The system allows to read emotions out of random people's faces. The faces are analyzed by sophisticated software (contributed by the Fraunhofer Institut). The obtained mood data are then stored on a server and processed by the smiley to visualize the emotions in real-time." What do you think ours would read most of the time, and should we have one for each borough?
