##About

This project is a game designed for young people with ASD to practice recognising emotions. A user is shown a face and asked to identify the emotion it's displaying. Their choice is then compared to that made by the Microsoft Facial Emotion API. The game is inspired by emotion recognition games that are currently used with children with ASD in schools. However, we feel the app would be an improvement on several fronts:

• The image set can potentially be far larger, meaning users aren't simply memorising the correct answer for individual faces on repeated play.
• Data tracking would allow users to track their personal results, as well as the overall effectiveness of the game to be measured.
• By comparing the user's results to an API rather than that of an authority figure like a teacher, we hope to instil more respect for the user's choices.

##Tech Stack
