DESCRIPTION:This is a practice talk for the International Workshop on Inte
 lligent Digital Games for Empowerment and Inclusion held in conjunction wi
 th Intelligent User Interfaces conference.\n \nFacial expressions play a c
 rucial role in human interaction. Interactive digital games can help teach
 ing people to both express and recognise them. Such interactive games can 
 benefit from the ability to alter user expressions dynamically and in real
 -time. This is especially important for people that have an impaired abili
 ty to understand and display facial expression\, such as people with Autis
 m Spectrum Disorders.\n \nIn this talk\, we present the Facial Affect Mapp
 ing Engine (FAME)\, a framework for mapping and manipulating facial expres
 sion in real-time across images and video streams. Our system is fully aut
 omatic\, and takes advantage of several computationally inexpensive method
 s to work in real-time\, on generic hardware. FAME presents new possibilit
 ies for the designers of intelligent interactive digital games.
