Motessense - NTT Defines Your Attractive Personality
If you're a typical science fiction fan, everyone knows your dark, dystopian, end times personality. But NTT now has an application that discovers your "attractive personality"!
An application developed from the idea that its uniqueness is attractive compared to others. The purpose is to automatically find out the "Mote factor", a factor related to attractive personality, regardless of appearance or position, by AI. NTT's next-generation media processing AI "Media Gnosis" is used to analyze the mote factor.

In MOTESSENSE, the state of role play according to the situation is sensed from the camera and microphone. We define our own mote factors for five types of viewpoints: expressiveness, thinking, taste, atmosphere, and activity, and comprehensively diagnose the way of speaking, facial expressions and gestures, and the content of words from the sensed information with AI. Find out the mote factor.
In his 1965 novel Dune, Frank Herbert creates the idea of a special portrait, an ego-likeness. It's not just a picture; the novel describes it as "portraiture reproduced through a shigawire projector that is capable of reproducing subtle movements said to convey the ego essence".
My father, the Padishah Emperor, took me by the hand one day and I sensed in the ways my mother had taught me that he was disturbed. He led me down the Hall of Portraits to the ego-likeness of the Duke Leto Atreides. I marked the strong resemblance between them--my father and this man in the portrait--both with thin, elegant faces and sharp features dominated by cold eyes. "Princess-daughter,"my father said, "I would that you'd been older when it came time for this man to choose a woman."
