Abstract
Interactive public displays are already widespread without being yet ubiquitous. With advances in computer vision technologies and falling prices for displays and sensors, we assume considerable growth in the upcoming years, in particular for publicity and related areas. This motivates our exploration of Living Chernoff Faces. Chernoff Faces represent data as features of an abstract face. The Chernoff Faces for digital signage that we are currently developing are alive; They are displayed in public spaces and are equipped with a camera. They look at users and passers-by and communicate with them non-verbally, thus combining the presentation of information, attention seeking, interaction, and fun.
