Emotion Stock Market Game
A browser experiment where facial expressions move the market.
01what it is
Your face trades the market
A playful browser game inspired by the advice everyone hears: don't trade with your emotions. I made the opposite. In this game, your facial expressions drive the market. Smile, panic, hesitate, or overreact, and your emotions become the trading strategy.
It is not financial advice. It is just a weird, fun experiment about what happens when the market listens to your face.
02how it works
Expression in, market chaos out
A webcam feed runs through live facial-expression detection, built with face-api.js and TensorFlow.js, right in the browser. Your expressions become buy and sell pressure, while random crashes, recessions, and Warren Buffett whale pumps keep the market lurching.
Everything happens client-side, so the camera feed never leaves your machine.
03why it belongs here
The playful half of how I build
It shows the playful side: take a strange idea and turn it into an interactive product. It is also proof I can wire real machine learning, live face tracking, into a tight, private, single-page experience.
04playable demo
The game is live and playable in your browser. It asks for camera access when you start, and nothing is recorded or uploaded.
